Savage Inequalities and Shame of the Notion, writes about how the America’s school systems are not performing at their best, due to the lack of money. Unfortunately, America’s schools are not equal when it comes to modern technology, highly educated teachers, and well-maintained school.

The study showed a negative correlation, which means the lower the salary for teachers in that district, the higher the teacher turnover. This also means, the higher the teachers’ salary is, the more likely teachers are to stay in the district and profession.
