> which suggests that poor education in urban areas is a function of institutional corruption and not lack of funding. It also has to do with lack of support at home. Suburban households are more likely to make sure their kids do their homework, come to parent teacher conferences, and discipline their kids when they do wrong. Poorer families lack the resources and time to make that happen. My sister has taught at 3 such schools over 10 years and lack of parental support for education is the norm.
