The USA already spends nearly double the percentage of GDP on education, compared to other OECD countries.
Public education in the USA is an utter failure
Not that the pedagogues are devoid of responsibility, but the wholly wasted fraction of the education budget is invested on certain racial groups whose genetically determined IQ is borderline mentally retarded. Combine that with an inherited deep disrespect for learning, and only God could fix them.
The dark hole that makes up the Washington DC public school budget could be used to send every student to a Swiss bordering school. However, given the grist, the outcome would probably be the same. Dark times indeed.
