While I'm sympathetic to the plight of teachers (my mother was a physics teacher, FWIW), I still can't shake the fact that education spending per student is higher in the US than in most of the rest of the world : http://mercatus.org/publication/k-12-spending-student-oecd http://mercatus.org/publication/k-12-spending-student-oecd
Something doesn't add up.
- 5hoom 15y agoI think that looking at overall spending per-student as a metric for the quality of education is about the same as using lines-of-code as a metric for the quality of a developer. Sure it's important, but it gives only a very small piece of the overall picture.
- rphlx 15y agoPerhaps the real metric should be spending per administrator.
