“Immediate, tangible symbols are what matter within the limited time horizon of elected politicians. Throwing money at public schools produces such symbolic results, even if it cannot produce quality education.” -Thomas Sowell
[Yet, we all seem to accept spending as an indicator of quality of education. It is long past time that we reject that thinking. It is simple to spend money for little to no benefit, and far harder to accomplish anything of worth even with vast resources available.]
