5th Post - Improperly funded schools.

                Improperly funding teachers makes it so that motivated good teachers want to only teach at better school because they want to get paid more.  Then those worse teachers who are desperate for work get hired by worse schools.  Those worse schools have less funds so the teachers who are hire there are only hired as permanent substitutes and are “paid only $10,000 yearly, as a way of saving money.” (Kozol 90).  But because they have less funds and need to pay the teachers, they still are unable to fund the rest of the school to try and give the kids a better education.  So it’s basically a domino effect where the school doesn't get funded properly and everything else goes downhill where it affects the kids the most, and also the community.
