I wonder what “infrastructure” spending on education entails.
Throwing money at research universities is fine, but “upgrading buildings” vis a vis K-12 schools annoys me when we need three things: 1) pay teachers more 2) fire bad teachers 3) allow more flexibility in how teachers teach
Building more spacious classrooms in order to better observe social distancing doesn’t seem like an investment to me. Applying a coat of paint to the walls doesn’t improve education but it does inflate how much money is being spent.
