The fact is it refuted the simplistic 'just throw more money at it and things will get better' line all too many people trot out.

What would, in your eyes, be more "correct" ways of using the money?

You can put up a state-of-the-art school, complete with anything and everything a student needs.
If the kids are part of a culture that mocks education and just drops out to "keep it real", the money was wasted and the test scores aren't going to move.

I say we don't give them a dime more until, and only until, changes are made that show improvement.
We can make improvements now with the billions we spend.
If I see improvement, then I'd be ok giving more money, to the programs/ideas that led to the improvements.
It's like investing. If your stocks aren't reaping you adequate benefits, you don't just jack up the amounts you invest and put it all in the exact same stocks.
You pick different stocks that are performing better.
Right??
