Not in directly funding the system yes, but teachers here are vastly underpaid in the USA in relation to the best countries in the world. Paying teachers more is culturally placing an emphasis on education

Paying teachers more is not going to make the parents who don't give a shite about their kids' education, care more. And that is the culture problem with education in America, we have a large group of people who think the deck is stacked against them regardless of whether or not they have an education and those people won't value education until that mindset is changed. Paying teachers more won't affect that in the least bit.

Parents are part of the problem, and so are administrators. There was a girl in Hartford CT who recently graduated with honors and got accepted to UConn, while being entirely illiterate.

There's an not small population of admins passing students to make their graduation numbers look good.

It gets worse when you find out there's an entire push within education called "grading for equity" where grades are essentially eliminated and everyone passes because the system is "unfair" to certain groups. This is now a social justice matter for the left.
