What's to say it wouldn't have been even worse workout the money? I don't think you can draw that conclusion from just this data point.

That said, education certainly needs major reforms. I like how Sweden is going full Luddite for learning: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/11/sweden-says-ba...

You'll never be able to run both scenarios side-by-side to compare - obviously. But for the people who say that the solution is to just spend more money, we've been doing that for quite awhile and nothing has seemed to improve.

A more interesting study would be to see how many of those dollars actually reach the student, or the teachers - as opposed to administrators or other positions that have less direct influence over the quality of education.
