"That's just the verbal category, which basically indicates if the student can read. What about the mathematics category, which indicates if the student can think?" Are you saying you don't think when you read? There's no clear answer on this issue. Clearly, there is no direct correlation between spending and test scores, but perhaps some students are helped by learning in facilities that weren't built over 100 years ago. IMO, it's really more a function of the value a kid's family (or whether the kid even has a family) puts on education, but what do I know. The Ohio Supreme Court concluded many years ago that the legislature was constitutionally required to spend more for poor schools to increase students' fundamental right to an education. And they told the legislature in three different cases to fix the state property tax system to benefit poorer schools, but I don't think it's ever happened.
