I don't think this is necessarily the case. Children here go to close 
schools. Schools are funded by property tax.  Children of poor parents go to 
schools with less money to pay teachers and books than children of wealthy 
parents. Minority parents tend to be more poor, in part because they're less 
educated.  So it's sort of a vicious circle that needs to be broken. If you 
just say "teach everyone the same", it doesn't happen, because the money 
isn't there.
