More funding means more opportunities to expand free breakfast/lunch programs, tutoring support, after school programs, basically every program that has been shown to help students from low income homes costs money.

I’m not sure how the hell cutting funding from the schools of poor students is supposed to help them… go ask anyone teaching in a segregated school in the northeast how decades of funding cuts have served their students. Or examine any study that’s come out in the past 20 years about how NCLB has been an utter failure.
