It is just a point of how much resources for learning does your school have. If they don't have that then how are you to learn it. Schools out in the woods just can not invest like bigger schools have. A town is only big as the wages it has. Spending money, sales tax from sales etc. If they don't have money then there is no need for something they do not buy! Make nothing have nothing! So schools are not so big in smaller towns. What is holding it back?
Education cost money as you get what you pay for. College? There is a term "Keep it in the family education." That is either the colleges are too poor to have a evolution or they keep going with the failed or misleading thinking! Well like to say to keep the wages low not wanting to raise the minimum wage that makes less sales and less resources making everything like a small town for as long as they buy cheap things online or just do without! Less is less for everyone so why keep it going if it does the same thing? That really is not a good college to go to! Look for a better college or...
With the changing labor force AI is working it's way in there needs to be more investment in workers education. A time for schools to put more money in AI technology. All around educating your people to bring them up! AI is not going away. If no action many rural towns are going to turn into squatters on the part like Brazil. No job skills no job as those low jobs are taken by robots in that they should! There needs to be a law to not have adults making children wages making tax burdens. Everyone should make a living wage and to have a dignified job! But no, so comes the changes with no investment!
Home schooling in the light of AI? How is a household going to afford the resources / robots so your kid would learn fiber optics technology and etc. Robots cost money!
The cost of college these days with a massive income inequality and being stuck in college trade schools are winning. In that is bad being your education would be just for the skill you want only for your career. Sort of not having much innovation popping out because of like a lack of deeper learning relating one thing to another. Like that saying "what it is, is what it is." A sad thing as what do they have? And what will you have thinking like that. Never stop your education, see what relates!
All of this? More investment is needed, higher income so people can afford their education than to never have one because they just could never afford it. It's sad!
~~~~~Unequal Opportunities: Fewer Resources, Worse Outcomes for Students in Schools with Concentrated Poverty.
Persistent gaps in test scores and college enrollment between students from low income families and other more financially secure students are well documented, as are the challenges schools face in trying to improve student outcomes. Too often, these disparities are seen as inevitable and the challenges insurmountable. Increased investments are characterized as wasteful, rather than necessary. Yet, there are concrete and measurable deficiencies in the educational opportunities available to students in high poverty schools.
This report takes an in-depth look at resources and classes available at over 1,800 public schools across Virginia. The findings are clear: students who have fewer resources outside of the school building are getting shortchanged in the classroom as well. And the differences are striking.

~~~~~U.S. minority students concentrated in high-poverty schools: study.
Stanford University Graduate School of Education professor Sean Reardon and his team crunched hundreds of millions of standardized test scores from every public school in the United States from 2008 to 2016 to reach their conclusions.
The findings reinforced previous studies illustrating that poverty, linked to continuing segregation, is a key mechanism accounting for racial disparities in academic achievement.
“If we want to improve educational opportunities and learning for students, we want to get them out of these schools of high-concentrated poverty,” Reardon said in presenting his findings at Stanford on Tuesday.
