What matters? Abilities or Connections? And where does social class fit in?

<p>Where is the money spent? I have to assume that the Andover kids come from families with money and/or education; they are not inner-city kids who have not seen a book prior to going to school. So money was spent on the Andover kids and the efffect of this spending will rub off on the kids in the inner city to which the Andover kids are being sent. In other words, money does not have to be spent on schools alone to make a difference in the achievements of different groups of students.</p>
