I mean hypothetically all the money given to a school could be used to build a giant statue but does that actually happen? In your example, are we sure giving teachers a pay rise does not make them more motivated and hence leading to better outcomes?

Okay, that's a fair point. Give the lunch room staff a pay raise instead, or build that statue lol :)

Or allow that school to recruit better teachers over time or have fewer students per teacher.
