>Not only is paying taxes not even correlated with education spending, spending per student is extremely high all across the USA

Correct. Contrary to what is often said, there is no shortage whatsoever of funding for public schools in urban areas. New York City spends more per student than anywhere else in the US. <https://www.silive.com/news/2019/06/how-much-does-new-york-c...> Baltimore, an incredibly poor and run-down city, spends the third most. #4-6 and #8 are all wealthy suburbs of Washington DC, but their schools are all far better than those of Baltimore or NYC on average, despite Baltimore spending slightly more per student and NYC spending 60-70% more.

>and results are extremely poor, especially on a spending basis.

Perhaps the latter is true, but the former is not. <https://x.com/cremieuxrecueil/status/1732478253225443777>

Basically, every US ethnic group does better than their countries of origin.
