More money spent on schools does NOT equal better results, 40-year study finds
- The performance of 17-year-olds has been essentially stagnant across all subjects despite a near tripling of the inflation-adjusted cost of putting a child through the K-12 system
- There has been essentially no correlation between what states have spent on education and their measured academic outcomes
- The correlation between spending and academic performance changes over the past 40 years for all 50 states is 0.075
- A higher SAT participation rate generally means that more lower-achieving students are taking the test, which drives down the average scores
- College fees have soared over the past 30 years
The costs of sending students through school have more than tripled in real terms over the past 40 years, yet despite the billions of extra taxpayers dollars being spent, the results students are achieving show almost no improvement.
Andrew Coulson who conducted the study believes the answer is simple - that there's no discernible correlation between spending and results.
'What we've done over the past 40 years hasn't worked,' said Coulson, director of the Center For Educational Freedom at the CATO Institute.
The most troublesome question facing education: Why are results for U.S. public school students so mediocre, despite the billions of taxpayer dollars spent?
No difference: there is no discernible correlation between spending and outcomes
Trending: The average performance change nationwide has declined three percent in mathematical and verbal skills. Moreover, there's been no relationship, effectively, between spending and academic outcomes
'The average performance change nationwide has declined 3 percent in mathematical and verbal skills. Moreover, there's been no relationship, effectively, between spending and academic outcomes.'
Coulson just released his study, 'State Education Trends: Academic Performance and Spending over the Past 40 Years,' and he points to this chart that incorporates costs and the number of public school employees with student enrollment and test scores.
Rob Nikolewski who has been looking at the study noted in Watchdog.org that while spending has just about tripled in inflation-adjusted dollars and the number of school employees has almost doubled since 1970, reading, math and science scores for students have remained stagnant.
'That is remarkably unusual,' Coulson wrote in his study. 'In virtually every other field, productivity has risen over this period thanks to the adoption of countless technological advances — advances that, in many cases, would seem ideally suited to facilitating learning.
Flatlined: While spending has just about tripled in inflation-adjusted dollars and the number of school employees has almost doubled since 1970, reading, math and science scores for students have remained stagnant
Details for every state: Everything is contained in the study, State Education Trends - Academic Performance and Spending over the Past 40 Years
Could do better: No matter where students are in the country, the performance has been at rock bottom despite billions of dollars being plowed into education
And yet, surrounded by this torrent of progress, education has remained anchored to the riverbed, watching the rest of the world rush past it.'
Coulson also says that not only is there no evidence that spending increases improve scores, he says the statistics show that decreases in spending have no discernible effect in negatively influencing student scores.
'At one time or another over the past four decades, Alaska, California, Florida and New York all experienced multi-year periods over which real spending fell substantially (20 percent or more of their 1972 expenditure levels),' he wrote. 'And yet, none of these states experienced noticeable declines in adjusted SAT scores.'
Such a study may well have parents asking if spending has no affect then why do students at private schools, which charge tuition, perform better than students in public schools?
National studies have shown the average per-pupil spending in the U.S. exceeds $11,000.
The Cato report assumes that education money is spent the same way it was in the 1960s and '70s, according to New Mexico Watchdog.
Schools provide many more special services in education such as after-school programs. Also, the technology in classroom has altered with computers and electronic smart-boards an every day part of the teaching process.
Conclusion: Surrounded by this torrent of progress, education has remained anchored to the riverbed, watching the rest of the world rush past it

On June 2, at 10:10 local time, the hijacked Libyan owned merchant vessel Rim reported that the crew had successfully retaken control of the ship. One of the crew members was seriously injured during the incident. The incident took place south east of Garacad, off Somalia's northern coastline. The closest EU NAVFOR warship, the SPS Victoria, was immediately tasked by the Force Commander Jan Thörnqvist, to meet up with MV Rim in order give medical assistance. SPS Victoria launched her helicopter immediately. Confusing reports that the ship had been pirated again came prior to the helicopter reaching the scene of the incident. It was quickly established that the crew were in control of the vessel. There were however, pirates in the vicinity who were attempting to impede the EU NAVFOR operation by utilizing another hijacked vessel the MV Voc Daisy. When SPS Victoria's helicopter approached the MV Voc Daisy she changed her course – no warning shots were fired. It is believed that some of the pirates were killed during the incident; the ship is now under the control of the crew.
The afternoon of June 4, the crew of MV RIM abandoned the ship on the request of the master. EU NAVFOR warship Johan de Witt was close to the position and engaged in the rescue. The crew of MV RIM are now on board Johan de Witt and will be transferred to a safe port.

Heptathlete Jessica Zelinka goes the extra mile
Canada's Jessica Zelinka captured a silver medal while battling a case of the dreaded Delhi belly, Randy Starkman reports.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
NEW DELHI—Canada's Jessica Zelinka added an eighth event to the heptathlon at the Commonwealth Games — the 20-metre dash to the bathroom.
Zelinka, returning to competition this season after taking a year off to have a baby, did well just to finish an event that was a war of attrition and capture a silver medal while dealing with gastrointestinal issues. But it was still disappointing for an athlete determined to win gold.
"I started today by saying, 'Ooh, Delhi belly, day two,'" said Zelinka. "It took a bit of a toll. It kind of shocked me like, 'Okay this is really hard, I'm going to have work really hard to the end,' which is usually the case but in these conditions I was like, 'Please, help me Lord, get me through this.'"
The 29-year-old from London, Ont., had some instructions for her coach Les Gramantik before the 200 metres on Saturday, the first event of the second day.
"After the 200, everyone leans over to catch their breath," said Zelinka. "I said, 'If I don't lean over, you know it's bad. Go get my extra shorts.'"
Zelinka entered the second day in first place, but was overhauled in the long jump by England's Louise Hazel, who went on to win the gold in a personal best of 6,156 points. Zelinka took the silver with 6,000 points.
"Sometimes a little bit of a setback always motivates you and sometimes you come to the realization there are areas that need to be addressed," said Gramantik. "It's the first year back for her. She's going to be probably ranked top eight in the world for the year. That's probably as much as you can do for coming back."
Zelinka, fifth at the Beijing Olympics, was pleased to come out of the season injury-free and believes she has a lot to build on.
"I think it's still there," she said. "I think I'm out of the stage where I'm not putting too much pressure on myself because I don't have the high expectations. Now, I'm starting to put the pressure on myself and say, 'It's time to start seeing the results.' London's two years from now. I have to keep that in mind and to stay focused on what's important. There's still stuff that definitely needs work on."
Zelinka admitted to getting a bit homesick after the morning session, when she turned on her computer and started crying while looking at pictures of her daughter Anika.
"I thought, 'Oh, this is so silly. I've only got a half-day left and then a plane ride.' It's just once you get tired and down, everything gets emotional."
