Because spending money on education doesn't equate to better outcomes. It creates more bureaucracy, bigger councils, etc.
Teacher pay is still abysmal, especially considering the fact they are expected to act as guardians and even security these days. And you'll never get better outcomes if you can't attract smart people to actually teach, no matter how much you pay the superintendent.
US public education should be called what it is, a government sponsored day care.
- oblio 4y agoThat's the thing I don't get. Most of those budgets should go to people. Rocks and bricks and concrete don't teach people, people teach people :-) Similar story for medical staff.

- ascagnel_ 4y agoSchool budgets are set by your local school board(s). If you want to pay teachers more, vote for school board members that promise to do that exact thing. School board elections are one of the best examples of a local election being able to enact meaningful, visible change in your community.
