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.
I'd like to think we could build replicas of Japan's schools for the prices Japan pays. I can see reasons why not, but that'd be my napkin math. Politicians don't suggest this. I'd bet it's because taking ideas from foreigners goes against our national pride. (Talk about dumb.)
(Japan spends on the order of $8,500 per student, FTR.)
