It kills me every time I hear it no child should have to grow up in poverty in the richest country that has ever existed! We know how to fix it but a few people are too greedy to pay their taxes and we lack the political will to make them!

That $800 average blows my mind. Is it, like, new scooters and a bunch of sneakers and artisan pencils? Private Bunsen burners? Maybe field trip money? Our school district is rural and fairly small, so maybe there are supplies we just never have to think about?
