Op-Ed article by John M Beam says facts do not support what has been portrayed by some public officials and news media as frightening spike in violence in New York City public schools; says real problem is long-established administrative policies that inadequately distribute resources to schools; says students, regardless of race or income, tend to do better, and there is less crime, in schools with adequate resources; says there is significant negative relationship between race and income of students and distribution of many essential resources as well as teacher qualification; says city's policies for distributing essential educational tools have what civil rights attorneys would call disparate, negative impact on black and Latino and lower-income students; says putting more police officers in city schools will not solve problem (M)
