But it doesn't matter how it gets funded, it will always be chronically under-funded! I have watched this going on for thirty years! There is something inherently wrong with public education systems. I don't know if it is the unions or what, but no matter how much money we throw at them, they are always under-funded. It's amazing.
- ohyes 10y agoThis is a pretty interesting chart. https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_083.asp https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_083.asp If you go and plug the numbers in from 1970 to something that adjusts for inflation to ~2008, it doesn't seem that teacher salaries have really changed that much, maybe a 10% increase on average? Hardly seems like throwing tons of money at the problem.
