Bad Education: New York Spends BILLIONS on Public Schools for Results Like THIS

meme

If we just spent more money on public education, we'd increase test scores and kids would be able to read and do math.

Or, at least that's what the Left says. 'Properly funded' public education is the solution to all our problems.

Except, what defines 'properly funded'? How much money is enough?

Because in New York, the state spends $89 billion on schools.

$89 BILLION.

The New York Post reports:

This is some bad math.

New York funnels more money into its schools than any state in the nation — with only mediocre results to show for it, a withering report released Friday reveals.

Spending on education has gone up — to a whopping $89 billion on New York school districts this academic year — even as both enrollment and test scores have plummeted, according to the analysis by the Citizens Budget Commission.

The statewide average of spending per student came to an eye-popping $36,293, a 21% increase since the 2020-21 school year, the report by the budget watchdog group found.

So, by the Left's own logic, New York should have the highest test scores and best educational outcomes, right?

Right?

Wrong:

All that spending has produced less than stellar and even dismal results.

New York’s fourth grade students ranked 32nd and 46th on reading and math NAEP exams taken in 2022, respectively, while eighth grade students rank 9th and 22nd, the report noted.

While NAEP exam results declined nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic amid virtual learning, the drop in scores was worse in New York.

The national average reading and math scores fell by three points and five points respectively, while in New York the average scores plummeted by six and 10 points.

Eighth grade reading scores were an exception, remaining flat between 2019 and 2022, while the national average score declined by three points.

Good work, New York!

A fair and reasonable question to ask.

Probably not much.

And not teacher salaries, either.

Major reform is needed.

Wowza.

The cruelty is the ponit.

They should be disbanded, frankly.
