>Federal, state, and local governments provide $878.2 billion or $17,700 per pupil to fund K-12 public education This is absurd truckload of money. For a stellar math education you need - kid with a functioning brain that gives a fuck, tutor smarter than a chimpanzee that gives a fuck, pen, paper and a random translated german textbook from 1890s or US one from the 1950s. Same for the majority of other subjects. I have been watching old sitcoms lately. Even ones that were aimed at blue collar working class people - with all the references they were making - the expectation was that even non college education was pretty well rounded so that the audience could get them. The problems US education have is not because of lack of resources.
