but funding does more than just pay for teachers, it also pays for suplies, buildings, ect. and it's not just the teacher that educates one, its where one is brought up, as you said. and if everyone is brought up with equal supplies and buildings, then wouldnt everyone have equal success?
kinda sorta. if you used that against me in a debate id read this
http://www.houstonisd.org/vgn/images/portal/cit_7634/22560382004FactFigures.pdf
pg 8 talks about how in the houston independent school disctrict over 1billino dollars is spent on salarys and 160million spent on private contracts. 22mill or so goes to books and materials so very little of that taxpayer money is going to what you mentioned above. and shows why i used the teachers as my example
and no if you have everyone brought up with the same standard building and materials the kids would still be left with there home upbringing, personal ambition and individual intellegiance to succeed

but the students' parents pay for it, who worked hard for their own money, who wants their kids to get it, not someone else's. and we're not debating about the equality of education, it's the equality of funding.
The whole point of the resolution is to try and make education equal. If money wasnt needed to teach someone then we wouldnt have a debate at all.the neg is trying to argue that money isn't everything when teaching someone and that with equality of funding it won't do any good cause it's the qualitys of a person that really matter.
The aff is trying to say the best and most effective way to teach someone is to have the best possible and that it's only fair that every student has the same resources to draw that education from just like any other student no matter where they live. whether the resources are teachers,materials or whatever.
Duh...Nobody can "hear" this site, because we are writing on it, not speaking it. To hear is to listen, and you can't listen to words that are written and not spoken.
