But Education costs too much and we have to cut. Can't give school teacher raises.



Is there any evidence that spending more on education results in better outcomes? https://www.cato.org/blog/public-school-spending-theres-char... The Schools in Camden are the highest funded and lowest performing schools in New Jersey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0JorXgqxiU&


I think you can look beyond studies and say if teachers can only afford used pinto's, and have to use their own money for school supplies, that maybe some more money would help.

If there are some heavily funded schools that perform badly, that isn't an argument that kids in underfunded schools should go hungry.

These studies really cherry pick scenarios to advance the agenda that we should get rid of public schools so we can have private religious schools.
