I’d like to but I can’t see wtf it says because its small, squished, and low res
It’d probably more interesting to exclude DC. It only makes sense to compare DC vs. other cities.
US spends so much money per student and still have so little to show for it
This would be far more useful if it showed spending adjusted for the cost of living. (Also on a more granular level like county. Within a single state, cities can have a high cost of living and rural areas can have a low cost of living.)
New York and DC probably look high because they are mostly urban and are high cost of living areas.
You mean DC wastes tens of thousands of dollars per student per year
This might be insane but who would have thought it costs more to build, pay teachers, etc in more expensive places
Well done NC. Outspending Utah, Idaho and Oklahoma is an impressive feat. Many Oklahoma schools had to go to 4 day weeks because they could afford to keep them running 5 days a week.
Its interesting! It might be fun to correlate that to effective education (No idea how that could be tracked).
I think schools in my area got about $5500 per pupil. Homeschool kids were allotted $1400. On average, it appeared that less money = better results.
Of Course Mark Twain’s „Lies, damn lies , & statistics…“ comes to mind.
Utah and Idaho are able to spend less because they have so many SAHM that help in the classroom. This would be more interesting to have literacy rates or graduation rates as well.
Spending doesn’t prove/show anything. You need a possible correlation to something else.
Ooh, small error, there are actually 50 states in America (j/k I know it’s counting DC as the 51st. Would that it were so)
More seriously, not sure I agree with the coloring; too much is red. And I don’t know if there is an industry accepted standard of what is „enough“ (which is where imo the green cutoff should theoretically be).
1. This exact thing was posted a couple of days ago. Literally same info, same map.
2. Unless you can correlate that the money spent is leading to better outcomes (spoiler: it isn’t), the color gradient is backwards. Throwing money at something with no benefit is a bad thing.
