Why is privatizing schools bad? I've heard some data about voucher based schools working out but I don't know the details of the argument.
give more money all around for teacher salaries,
Finland has a lower per student spending than we do and yet has a better educational system than we do too. Now, I don't know if they spend less on teachers than we do, but what do we know about the impact of increased salaries on teacher performance?
Also, how do you know those are the most scaleable solutions given money, instead of let's say, time, tech or labor?
The four have to be used in tandem. You aren't going to get anywhere just spending time on it without changing something else, tech naturally increases effectiveness over time, and gets cheap enough to be massively used in school systems (though not fast enough, based on some of the computers I had to use when I was in high school), and labor goes into each of them as well.
