MORE Money....equals....LESS results.....DUH. Probably not a causative connection, though.
Educational fads such as the "whole language" approach and (sigh, again....) a lack of emphasis on phonics is probably more to blame for the decline in reading scores.

"Reform math" is the educational fad ruining math skills. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (for what they are worth) stated at their meeting last fall that they were wrong back in 1989 for suggesting "constructivist" or "reform math."
