+1000. We spend near the top of the world per student per year (5th) and get some of the worst outcomes of the developed world. A recent study of Baltimore's schools found not one child across 23 schools could do math at proficiency. Not even one! $14,400 per student (on avg) per year is being completely incinerated by the public school system.

Which is why I laugh when people wring their hands about parents homeschooling their children not teaching them enough 🙄 Clearly the abject failure of so many public schools to educate children in the absolute basics doesn’t dissuade these same people from supporting public schools and wanting to throw larger and larger amounts of money at them 🙄 For outcomes that end up not being any better.
