The US spends the most money per student, securing a 99% literacy rate yet we are in the lower third of the tables for Math, Science test scores.

What this infographic does not show is that the US has consistently spent the same amount per student for more than the past decade AND not much has changed in terms of our global position on math & science. Which begs the question about how the US spends their money per student and the ugly truth emerges about the ridiculous amount we spend on administration versus teachers and learning support materials.
