Fog Early followed by Afternoon Showers| The Old Gods |
| We're talking about states/countries as a whole, not individual families. |

| I feel its a smorgasbord of all of the above. Theres not just one thing at fault |
| Bioshock Manor |
| So when a family is carriers of a disease, kids get it, but they keep having kids who end up sick. That's not genes? |
| FirstLightFarms |
| I'm... still working on it, ven. Though physically I don't have the money right now soooo |
| The Old Gods |
| Or in the case of some towns, there's a lot of contamination from mining operations |
| The Old Gods |
| It's definitely not genetics, owing to how some places are still running lead pipes |
| Nordic Designs |
| And to tap on what Ven said, the school that was a 5 star public was in a tourist town that received a lot of public support, and the one in the next town over was a bunch of trailer park trassholes. Small town, I was threated to be killed a time or two and I was told I was in the wrong still by the teachers. |
| Stormsong Manor |
| And now they're trying to push the establishment of more and more charter schools |
| FirstLightFarms |
| It's not genetics, it's wealth inequality, and the wealthy try to say it's genetics. But correlation is not causation, and so on |
| FirstLightFarms |
| Also, I'm not sure about other states, but property taxes here fund our schools. So areas with high property taxes (very nice houses, very wealthy people) will have better public schools (so, richer = better educated children) than the lower income/cheaper areas, and so the cycle continues |
| Stormsong Manor |
| The neighborhood I lived in in Brooklyn wasn't top of the heap but I didn't have a kid in school there either |
| Nordic Designs |
| I went to two different schools, in the same county, and one was horrific and one was a 5 star public school... |
