3. Money is Redundant
As much as we’d like for this to be true, it sadly isn’t. We are disillusioned when we say that all the money we spend doesn’t affect our grades or the grades of our children. This is taken advantage of by lawmakers who are against increasing expenditure on education. However, the evidence is solid and it can be clearly seen that states spending more on education tend to have more academic successes than states which don’t spend as much. Another effective method, the researchers share, can be the hiring of reputed and effective educators with salary tags. Funding can also help counter other problems in the system. For example, it can enable schools to increase staff and thus reduce class sizes as well. Most interestingly, research shows, proper funding aimed at students who come from poor financial backgrounds can reap huge benefits for the state. All of these are backed by some solid research and data of course. Then again, other factors need to be considered as well. Chances are that a district wealthy enough to spend handsomely on education is probably well off in most other aspects that affect academic success.
