NYC schools spend more than $20k per student and get lower standardized test results and GPAs than Idaho which spends $5k per student. Lack of money is not the problem. The spending model is.
I don't think people appreciate how much is spent on public schooling in the US. According to data collected by the Federal Government, it's an average of nearly $15,500 PER student PER year. That's an enormous amount of money and the results don't show. I don't think throwing more and more money at it is the solution to government bureaucracy and waste.
