>which is that segregation is the bigger problem than funding
Segregation isn't addressing the root problem, it's just hoping that spreading out the problem (households that don't value education) will mask issues.
If one school was 100% Asian-American and a neighboring school was 100% white, the two schools wouldn't underperform because of segregation.
EDIT: Instead of downvoting, can someone refute my point about the Asian-American and white schools? Segregation itself isn't the issue.
