We've got it backwords when it comes to testing

Someone mentioned in class this week that we seem to have our testing all wrong. We shouldn't give more money and more resources to schools that test better, but rather we should give money to the schools that do poorly when it comes to testing. Those are the schools that obviously need the assistance. It's the Mathew effect. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Schools with more funding get better test scores therefore receiving even more funding and schools that do poorly on tests never receive any funding and continue to do poorly on tests.

The following link talks about how poorer schools are cheated on the funding that they deserve.

I think it's high time that people start doing when they know is right and help the districts that they know are in need. Schools that receive better funding benefit everyone in the community.
