Should it take twice the money to educate kids out of Utah?


The median price of a home in Hawaii in 2023 was $832,688.
The median price of a home in Utah in 2023 was $499,759.

Should it take nearly twice as much money to build a house in Hawaii than Utah?

Should it cost 5k more to educate a kid in Lousiana than Utah?

Finland has some of the best schools in the world. Short days, and 20% less per pupil less than we pay.

Cost of living difference between states is a legit point. I wouldn't expect Washington DC to be as cheap as most of Utah.

Alas, you can also find wildly disparate results without even driving 50 miles from a shitty school district too.

Both states adjacent to Washington DC spend 25% less per student on average with the 2 highest per pupil districts STILL coming in at 10% less than DC spends per pupil. And, of course, those 2 districts have massively better results than DC. Why? Because you could spend 3x the amount in DC and STILL get shite results.
