This is one of the dumbest 'reforms' I have seen in a while.
Obviously the richer, whiter school districts and teachers will get the extra money and the raise, whereas the struggling inner city teachers...but they are probably already used to that, and expecting it, sadly.
Besides everything that you sisters (and brothers) already listed, there's also the matter that when a child in the suburbs is failing or not doing well on tests, his or her parents can afford private tutoring or special classes for them. Inner-city kids' parents typically don't make enough for that, and even if they did, the kid is possibly working and wouldn't have the time to take the class/tutoring.
