I would say "take notes", but I know how underfunded your schools are

    It’s not even about being underfunded. It’s about forcing all students into public school when they aren’t all on the same level when it comes to intelligence or capability to learn, much less their home support system.

    The schools that spend the least per student have the best scores

      Huh? Don’t most public schools offer various levels of the same subject for this reason? Like remedial, honors, AP, etc. In what way is this problem solved by private schools? Unless you’re implying that home schooling solves this problem, which yeah sure if one of the parents works full time teaching their children and also has a high level of education themself as well as the relevant skills. Not something that can actually be scaled out across the country. And history has shown that homeschooling typically leads to inferior education.

      Yeah that doesn’t sound right at all. You got a source?

        Here’s some sources:

        A $1,000 increase in per-pupil spending over 3 consecutive years led to a full grade-level improvement in both math and reading achievement

        A 10% increase in school spending improved test scores by 0.05 to 0.09 standard deviations

        Out of 18 statistical estimates examining the relationship between spending and test scores, 11 showed positive and statistically significant improvements

        Oh wait these sources agree with you and that guys probably full of crap.
