Is it fair to ask poor kids to ‘do more with less?’

As an educator and an administrator, I’m always thinking of ways to provide children with the best education possible. Public education is supposed to be “free” in Illinois, but we know this isn’t true. Some one has to fund it. When schools rely on property taxes then it stands to reason that schools in poor neighborhoods will be drastically underfunded.
