Educational spending: brains can’t be bought.
that increased government spending is the solution to low academic achievement.
Can federal and state spending really solve our educational problems or are
there other solutions to the problem? Who should be responsible for making
educational decisions?
The United States spends, on average, over $9,000 per
student in the public educational system. This is the third highest amount
spent by any country in the world. Only Switzerland and Norway spend more per
student. In spite of these huge costs, the USA lags behind nations who only
spend a fraction of what we spend on public education.
Is increased spending the solution to improving educational
achievement?
