stop. 

Or.....you could read the budget items for public schools in Texas the last 3 sessions.  As just one example.

Human beings are treated as an expense, not as an asset in which we should invest capital.  It's okay to admit that -- the GQP admits it rather proudly.

More money equals better outcomes? 22000 per student in Baltimore while Texas is 11000 per student, but I've not seen headlines like this.

I'mjust glad yall agree more money doesn't fix anything. You seem to be hiding from the fact that an idiot is rigbt.

The best schools in systems in the US do not spend the least, though. Wisconsin gets the best ROI spending just north of $12,600. Texas spends just over $9,600.

It might be easy to spend too much while earning a poor return, but it is very hard to cheap out and excel.

So, just from reading that article, it seems that Baltimore city public schools (whose demographic makeup includes significant numbers of inner-city children living in poverty and a spiraling cycle leading to crime—see The Wire) has ramped up funding after decades of serious underfunding. Test results are poor, but trending upward after suffering a setback during the pandemic.
