Confirming this. The experience of a Americorps recruit is barely comparable to the average experience of a professional teacher. Americorps recruits are sent to the worse schools, partly because those schools cannot afford more professional teachers.

"Worse" translates to "urban" or "rural" schools.

Think about what that means. (Hint: It's not a money issue)

That black people and white people are stupid? I'm really not sure what forbidden truth you're supposed to be getting at here.

The forbidden truth is about poor people ("rural"=white and poor, "urban" = black and poor.)

I'm curious how you exclude the "money issue". Don't "rural" and "urban" districts correlate remarkably well with "poor" districts?

Poor governance, which is allowed to persist due to lower involvement by parents.
