I think we as a nation spend more money on education compared to other comparable countries. I saw that somewhere. But our results are often disappointing. I wonder why? And what happened with Zuckerberg infusing all that money to the Newark educational system. And wasn't Puff Daddy (or whatever he calls himself now) going to start up his own charter school in NYC? I wonder why no one can get a handle on this.
New York City will infuse public schools with $635 million for an academic recovery plan that includes a universal literacy screening through second grade, after-school help for students with disabilities, and college counseling services for all juniors and seniors, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter announced Thursday.
The announcement provided long-awaited details on how some of the influx of federal stimulus money — expected to total $6.9 billion over three years— will be used to support the city’s nearly 1 million students and close what the mayor has called “the COVID achievement gap.” A main focus will be on literacy, including extra coaches and interventions, class size reductions at certain schools, and even the books that students read. As part of a new universal curriculum, called Mosaic, that the city plans to roll out in 2023, classroom libraries are expected this fall to begin getting 9 million new books that reflect the diversity of children in the nation’s largest school system.
“We’re going to jumpstart each child’s educational comeback,” de Blasio said, reiterating his years-long promise to have every child reading on grade level by third grade.
Literacy Blitz!! Get your communist manuscripts fresh off the presses!! HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST NON-BINARY MARXIST REVOLUTIONARY, come and get it!
And in the end, the Blitz did not achieve it's primary objective and, although horribly destructive, was a failure for Germany. A similar fate awaits deB.
This just sounds like a very scatter shot approach that will probably have limited measurable levels of success. When my 7 year old needed help with any subject, I just hired private tutors at $45 per hour. If they were ineffective, I can easily replace them, unlike incompetent teachers.

Kids used to learn to read, write and do arithmetic in one room schoolhouses staffed by high school graduates of 17 or 18. It's not money.
You can't teach some people how to be something they aren't good at. Just like you can't make everyone a quarterback or major league pitcher. People are born to be what they were gifted in.

I rather doubt we spend more on education - anyway, we get worse results.
Years ago, I tried to connect with a literacy program to help kids, but they made it so problematic that I finally gave up.
