If you look at actual numbers, school funding has never been higher.

"Public schools in countries where schools are treated well have phenomenal success."

How do you measure such success? There's standardized testing but you don't seem to like that.

If you look at actual numbers, spending on education in the US is dwarfed by other spending (such as defense) to an extent that it's inconsistent with our stated values.
