You are correct. The important correlation is between increased spending and increased educational outputs (better student performance on standardized tests). It has been consistently proven that increased educational spending absent significant changes has no correlation to test scores. Just paying the same teachers more to do the same work is a losing proposition. Requiring something like 60% of educational budget to go to teachers’ wages and benefits should inspire a new crop of teachers motivated by competition for money. The competition should stimulate increased performance. It has also been shown that educational districts improve performance when threatened by Charter school. This is often after years of dismal performance.
