Early Differences in Education for the Rich and the Poor
This page is from a book written by John MacMullen in 1881, the author's note states its purpose as “the hope that they [his books] may help some doubting parent to a wise decision, or secure such training for some young man of means as shall enable him to resist temptation, and become our benefactor, not our burthen or our shame.” This page discusses the differences in education for the rich versus the poor boys, similar to today, rich people had more emphasis on education, but poor people had to work to survive in society, therefore their education isn't as important.

Money and Education |
"As the price of a college degree continues to rise, there's growing evidence that the monetary payoff isn't quite as big as often advertised. The best estimate now is that a college degree is worth about $300,000 in today's dollars—nowhere near the $1 million figure that is often quoted."
As everyone knows, higher education wields higher earnings in the future. But education may not earn as much as some may say. College education only earns on average $300,000—that’s $700,000 dollars less than some have projected one would earn from a college education.

Money and Quality
"While students in higher-income towns such as Greenwich and Darien have easy access to guidance counselors, school psychologists, personal laptops, and up-to-date textbooks, those in high-poverty areas like Bridgeport and New Britain don’t."
Money plays a large part in quality of education—the more money a school has, the better the education they provide. As has been pointed out, better technologies and updated books can be a huge advantage in student learnings.
