The United States funds public education almost more than any other country in the world per student.

That’s not PPP though. Does not talk about inequality of funding either (which everyone knows is a horrifying issue in the US)

Same source also has as-percentage of GDP figures, and while it does move the US more towards the middle, it doesn’t refute GPs point that the US spends a lot on schools. Perhaps it is distributed inefficiently or inequitably, but that wasn’t a point GP raised.
