I can't explain it, but I am sure there is one.


You can't explain it because the facts don't fit your closed belief system

If tripling spending didn't help, why would anyone rational conclude that more money would help? Maybe we should look at what the money is being spent on. The reason so many HS graduates are illiterate is that beginning in the 70's we abandoned a core cirriculum which had been proven for years and replaced large parts of it with liberal feel good mush. We spend more class time teaching little kids about oral sex than we do about American history.
