> If we were a democracy, rich neighborhoods wouldn't have better schools.

If we were a democracy, you'd be able to have more choice in how your children were educated. Switching schools or otherwise opting for more innovative educational approaches would be much more viable.

People buy into school districts because that's, bottom line, the only way to have a say in your kids' education.

Democracy isn't just about choice. It includes access, privilege and equality.

I think the imbalance in school district efficacy has more to do with classism and a "just universe" than anything else. The betters should have it better.
