My economics class. I have the notes if you'd like me to photo copy them.

Lol I'm sorry I do not consider your economic class notes a reputable source.

What do you not agree with? The amount of money being spent? The majority of the race in the given school systems? Which ones have better graduation rates and test scores?

Take Chicago for example. There is approximately $4,000 more dollars spent on each kid, whom are primarily black, in public schools versus those in Catholic schools, whom are primarily white

That part.

disagree with the money part or the black/white part?

Good job at answering my question. I bet you are one of those dumb ones raised up in the Chicago public school system.

The days of slavery were better for us black folk anyways. The white man was always there to look after us. Gave us jobs. Feed us. Made sure we didn't get in trouble. What more could you ask for I tell ya?

Lol, no reason to be upset just because I asked for a source. It is not wise to believe whatever someone says on a forum, so I hope you see my reasoning.

And no I was not raised in the Chicago public school system.

You fooled me.

You have still yet to say exactly what you don't agree with?

What the hell do you not get? I pasted this part for a reason.

Take Chicago for example. There is approximately $4,000 more dollars spent on each kid, whom are primarily black, in public schools versus those in Catholic schools, whom are primarily white.

That ENTIRE part. I am not questioning that there are more blacks in Chicago's public system than those in catholic schools. However, I am questioning that $4,000 more is spent on the primarily black public schools opposed to the primarily white catholic schools.

O look at that I just basically retyped what I previously copied and pasted.

How can you even question that? Public school funds come from taxes. The taxes come from everyone in Chicago. Catholic schools are directly funded by the parents of the kids who attend there. How is it so unbelievable that more money is taken from tax payers than parents pay in dues to Catholic school?

How can you even make that a statement? Just saying "Catholic Schools" is very vague. I have seen some "ok" catholic schools. And I have seen some very very nice catholic schools. Astro-turf field, amazing sports programs, big tall glass school etc..

This whole conversation is pointless unless there is source. So until there is a source agree to disagree.
