This book talks about some of the discrepancies in education between the inner city and suburban public schools. There is a difference in how people are educated between the inner city and the suburban districts. For instance, there is a definite difference in the tax revenue. Generally speaking, in the inner city, not everyone is able to make enough money to feasibly support themselves. In this instance, many of the workers are working minimum wage jobs where they may not work enough hours to be able to pay all of their bills. The taxes in the suburban districts are able to allow the children to learn the updated curriculum and give them the choices for different classes to learn about different subjects.
