      Education isn't one and done like a building. It's an ongoing project which consists of a massive amount of moving parts. But it couldn't be that conservatives simply want there to be an uneducated underclass whose labor they can exploit while feeling a smug superiority to, right

      I don't understand the stakes here. I'm sure it's true that very few people who want more funding for education have a specific target number - most of us don't work for legislators or think tanks. But you don't need a target to determine that more funding would be better.

      That's completely wrong. A target is the result of having a plan to optimize an output (student learning or whatever) if you don't have a target you don't have a plan - you just have an excuse. "What went wrong?" "We didn't get enough money" <repeat forever>

      When I'm hungry my procedure is generally to 1) eat something, and then if I'm still hungry after that 2) I get more. What am I missing?

      You're missing that you know that eating solves hunger. The plan in "education" is more like 1) notice hunger 2) take a walk 3) if still hungry, repeat step (2). "Give me more money" isn't an education plan - it's a plan for getting more money.

      Well, it's true that advocating more funding only makes sense if you have some evidence that it would help. But supposing you have some such evidence, what's wrong with not knowing the optimal amount of additional funding?

      The entire argument is premised on dollars driving quality, which are not correlated. Nobody bothers even trying to make this argument because it's facially wrong. "funding education" is a religious mantra.

      It's one thing to argue against increased funding on the basis that it wouldn't make any difference. I have nothing to say about that. My point is just that it's reasonable to advocate more funding for something without knowing what the ideal amount is.

      Replying to @phil_igan @slow___up and

      Of course it's unreasonable. Money isn't an input. If you're interested in education you should be interested in *things that improve learning* that you would like to buy *but can't afford*. If you can't name anything in that category, you aren't really talking about education.
