> High education spending doesn't equate to good teacher pay. The pay for administrative staff has gone through the roof. Am I reading this chart correctly? It seems to indicate that US teachers' salaries are at #6 in the OECD countries (behind Luxembourg, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, and Australia): https://data.oecd.org/teachers/teachers-salaries.htm https://data.oecd.org/teachers/teachers-salaries.htm Surprisingly Finland is at #17. And this chart [2] seems to indicate that administrative expenditures have consistently accounted for around 40% of public elementary and secondary education expenditures since 1980. However they were lower in 1970 (32%), so there seems to have been some expansion in the 1970s.
