Eye opening educational success vs spending visual!

We often (heck - everyday) we hear the arguments for and against more education spending in this country.  While I think that it has as much to do with attitudes in the homes (especially the single parent homes) as it does the teachers -- I think this very clear graphic shouts one fact well:  Money alone does not predict success in the schools!

Hmm, now when was it that the Department of Education was created? Seems like the old HEW Department  was not only more effective, but a hellofalot cheaper than the three new giant separate agencies created out of it......
