Abstract

Many individuals are disadvantaged due to the variation of funding in the United States. However, over time, schools have received a greater amount of funding to source primary through secondary schools in order to decrease the monetary gap between schools. In order to help those who do not have the same privileges, the government has increased funding, which has illustrated great strides in educational systems. Students are now able to receive the materials and supplies necessary for an effective learning environment. For example, students now have experienced teachers, as well as textbooks to allow them to learn curriculum. As the funding for education has increased in schools over time, an increase in test scores display the help that funding has provided to less fortunate districts. There have been trends over time describing places that have lesser funding throughout schools in their district, such as South Chicago neighborhoods, not allowing students to work up from these neighborhoods. To provide these students with opportunity, lesser funding over the years have been mapped out and traced to specific school districts. With this funding, students are able to excel and reach for opportunities they may not have been able to with previous resources. Throughout the states, there has also been evidence that funding in education from local governments have varied based on representation. In order for students to obtain the necessary materials for an effective education, tracing the allowance for funds in each state and changes over time in these states to permit students to reach higher success is beneficial. Therefore, through the understanding of trends for funding in states over time, governments and funds can be targeted towards these less fortunate educational systems to provide these students with opportunities for success, as well.

The Differences of Funding in Education in the United States

Many individuals are disadvantaged due to the variation of funding in the United States. However, over time, schools have received a greater amount of funding to source primary through secondary schools in order to decrease the monetary gap between schools. In order to help those who do not have the same privileges, the government has increased funding, which has illustrated great strides in educational systems. Students are now able to receive the materials and supplies necessary for an effective learning environment. For example, students now have experienced teachers, as well as textbooks to allow them to learn curriculum. As the funding for education has increased in schools over time, an increase in test scores display the help that funding has provided to less fortunate districts.
