If we don't invest enough why are per pupil expenditures highest in poor quality urban districts? Perhaps the "investment" isn't being well-spent--which I believe is Philip's real point in the OP.

That is what we actually spend per pupil as a nation. Look here: http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2010/expenditures/tables/table_01.asp http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2010/expenditures/tables/table_01.asp See the large variance in state and local spending? Much of that is inequality. To address your question: your assertion is factually incorrect. Some cities spend more in inner city schools, and some spend less. The real inequalities lie in rural schools.
