Problems with schools are not related to size of class, funding, race, or any other demographic statistic. It all comes down to discipline and basics.
If students don't want to learn, they are forced to remain in school, often disrupting the class for others who do want to learn - or at least are not so undisciplined that they cannot control themselves in class.
If a kid doesn't want to learn and is a discipline problem - kick them to the curb and let them resume when they have learned that their life will descend into hell if they don't get an education. If the parent does not want their kid to be excluded, then it is up to them to teach them manners and discipline.
The other issue is basics. If you successfully teach reading, writing, and math, then all else will flow from it.
Again, you are making post that do not contradict the content of the person you are responding to.
The Post you are responding to said that school funding goes down if their is less revenue from property taxes, explain how the above contradicts that ?
Clearly, property values are high enough to support spending of $13,000 - $19,000 per student per year in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Atlanta public schools. So, why the abysmal results?

I have no idea what a mixed ability class is, but what is your proof that it is a Liberal/Democratic idea ?

That may be slightly true, but is an indication of the continuing dumbing-down.
What made you come to that conclusion ?

Wrong
unchanged would not indicate a reasoning to post bold around one word.

Democrats can't have their Jim Crow laws anymore, but they have been able to maintain defacto Jim Crow school segregation by their continuing refusal to allow school vouchers.
School vouchers dont work. They leave less money behind for the majority who can not pay for transportation to other schools. You end up hurting those who needed it the most. School vouchers in their current form are the very definition of choosing ideology over practicality.
And Jim Crow was supported by those from all political parties, stop trying to make it a Democratic thing because it never was.

cost of living in a major city is far more than in a small town, more students to teach, more teachers to pay, more buildings to maintain.

What school did you go to ?
If you acted up in my school, they sent you to OCS(on campus suspension).
Well, the reason this Democrat supports public schools is that, like Thomas Jefferson, I believe that universal public education is an essential public good, and an educated populace is vital to the maintenance of a democratic society.
If you acted up in my school, they sent you to OCS(on campus suspension).
That hasn't been done for years, as it "stigmatizes" the offending student and harms his/her self-esteem. Poor little snowflake.
