does excessive government funding really improves education?

Public

Discussion:

Recently in the State of Georgia teachers were accused of correcting the errors committed by students on their test papers. This was done because of the poor showing by the students on their exams. Apparently the justifications given for the above actions by the teachers was that funding by the Federal Government would be reduced or denied because of the low marks of the students. Inspite of all Government funding of education American students are still lagging behind many other countries in math and the sciences.
