do you have evidence of increasing funding to public education directly resulting in better outcomes in general? obviously better schools are usually better funded, but i can't imagine how throwing money at a bad school would result in better education...
- paraph1n 5y ago> but i can't imagine how throwing money at a bad school would result in better education... ...what? How about hiring better teachers. Building nicer facilities. Funding extracurricular/after-school activities. Smaller class sizes. Better equipment (computers, technology, textbooks). Better/more support staff (counselors, etc). The list goes on... I would much rather go to a school that had plenty of money than go to a school that was on a tight budget. And yes, I would almost certainly get a better education at the former.
