    "Overall, schools in poorer districts spent $8,733 per pupil less in 2012 than those from wealthier ones, an inequity that grew by nearly 9% from before Cuomo took office in 2011, according to the study by a coalition of education advocacy groups opposing many of the reforms pushed by Cuomo." The highlighted portion and the article itself describe the reasons in which the richer schools get a better education than the poorer schools. It shows it in statistics and shows the advantages and disadvantages of attending one of these schools. The students in the richer schools move on to be more successful in life and will not struggle later on. Further, another key point is that it is important that the schools know how to spend their money wisely for the education for students.
