US ranks number 1 among OECD nations in annual expenditure per student by educational institutions, and yet they produce one of the least educated students in OECD nations. Why is this the case? If funding is the problem as "experts" say it is, why is it that countries that spend fractions of what US spends yield better students?
It seems like you are right. It's just another year, another scheme to ask for more money in education.

Flunk a test at age 12 and no college for you. Easy. Now we don't have to bother with all those "useless" students. Hope your kid passes.
