birdwatcherHarvey is considered the poorest elementary district in the county, based on a state formula. Even with help from the state and federal governments, the district spent just $7,709 per pupil in 2005.
By contrast, West Northfield School District 31 in Northbrook, considered the county's wealthiest elementary district, spent $13,346 per child.
Lela Bridges [директор бедной школы] said she struggles every day to find money for basic instruction, clean and well-maintained buildings, computers and a few extras, such as music lessons for a few dozen students. She gets extra money to tutor struggling children from federal programs, but she also wishes she could afford more teacher aides for her classrooms.
Children at West Northfield [это богатая школа] have programs such as forensic testing, flight simulation and fingerprinting techniques in a state-of-the-art applied technology lab. Shiny guitars line the back of a music room, and all middle school students have the chance to play. They also can learn violin.
Эти наблюдения иллюстрируют следующий факт: еducators widely agree that disadvantaged students need more resources than their affluent peers to perform at the same level, though money doesn't always guarantee higher performance.
