The Problem in Education is Not Spending

Here is a very informative infographic (click to enlarge). We spend more than the rest of the civilized world on every student in our system and yet we get some of the worst test scores.  And we don't just spend a little more, we spend a lot more, we spend over 4 times the level per student than the Russians do and yet get similar test scores.  We need to stop teaching kids that they have self-esteem even though they can't even spell self-esteem.
