All governments in the US spend gobs of money on education, but they do so very inefficiently. At the end of the day, under those circumstances, of course some children will succeed while others will fail. By far, what separates success from failure is the parent. You can spend $100,000 on someone like Michael Brown and get an illiterate thug, or spend a few $1000 on an Asian immigrant kid and get a class valedictorian. Why? Because nature and the deciding factors, not political parties.
