Do the children in those areas receive a lower standard of education? If they do , are you advocating this as being an acceptable state of affair?

Out of interest which school in Clayton did you attend?

Money alone is not a reliable indicator of the kind of education children receive. It is not uncommon to find places with the least expenditure per student having far better results than others who spend vastly more. The worst schools and scholastic records are often in inner cities where huge sums are spent with little to show for it.
