#3 It's good to see someone questioning the conventional wisdom that more money automatically guarantees better education.

#4 Or smaller class sizes means better education. Most of the countries which beat is all the time have larger class sizes.

Its the Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y of educator. Something the unions don't want to hear.

#5 We don't even know what quality in education is.

Ie, what works, even in the shortish term. Never mind 20 years down the road which is what really matters.

Otherwise GR is right. Massive subsidies with little real value resulting from them.

BTW, far and away the most effective subsidy is to pay students to pass exams.
