There’s no evidence to support what you’ve stated here. The single best case study on the subject says the exact opposite, in fact. You can do the research on it — it was the landmark Kansas City school funding initiative in the 1990s.

Textbooks and school supplies have almost nothing to do with the quality of a child’s education.

No. I am quite correct. If I spend $24,000/student, but they only receive themselves $300/student for funding and another state spends $7,000/student, but $6,000 goes to funding the actual education, the funding is higher in the $24,000 but the student himself receives less than the student who gets a higher share of the funding in the other state.

Spending per student does not mean the money from the spending actually reaches the student.

You are welcome to explain why funding in blue states can be as much as 4 times as the red states, but blacks in red states have higher outcomes, if the funding reaching the student himself is irrelevant.
