Personally, I don't feel like giving up. Especially since a successful school placed in an area would have long-term multipliers; they produce better parents, who can raise better children, etc.
The right is also dumb on this. A point on the PISA is not a "unit of learning," it's a point on the PISA. The left wants more carrot, the right wants more stick, & they're both so obsessed with which motivates the horse better that they can't see they're riding it over a cliff
Everyone wants to argue about whether we're spending too much or too little on education. Find me one politician on either side who's thought enough about what a "good school" even *is* to have done some napkin math for how much it should cost.
For what e.g. NY state is spending per student, a set of four kids could have a full-time tutor paid $80k/year. Are NY schools outperforming that? Why is that not the benchmark? Because education is all political posturing. I rag on the left bc their posturing is more expensive.
Mm, yeah. I said "unit of learning" to make the point that we can't actually measure it. PISA is just a test, albeit a useful one for the purposes of cross-country comparisons. (I like cross-country comparisons. Even if the reforms needed to climb in them may go beyond schools.)
