Thank you for the source, this is rather interesting. However I believe there’s some level of miscommunication. My original comment was in reference to the inequality within the distribution of funds due to inequality of tax revenue across the country, and how that affects the learning opportunities of less-privileged kids who, I would argue, are in more of a need for better education to escape their lower income bracket.

I was responding to your request for evidence for searealist's statements that the US educational system is the best in the world when accounting for ethnicity.
But, since you brought it up: Contrary to what is often said, there is very little evidence that funding affects outcome at all. New York City spends more per student than anywhere else in the US. <https://www.silive.com/news/2019/06/how-much-does-new-york-c...> Baltimore, an incredibly poor and run-down city, spends the third most. #4-6 and #8 are all wealthy suburbs of Washington DC, but their schools are all far better than those of Baltimore or NYC on average, despite Baltimore spending slightly more per student and NYC spending 60-70% more.
(With that in mind, now reread the above Twitter thread.)
