There's a narrative that because the bivariate correlation between education spending and student test scores is small/null, education spending doesn't matter.
But causal research has begun to show that this simple association is probably biased downward. Education spending matters a lot.

In our new #OA article, we studied the drivers of ethnic school segregation.

A French scientist was denied entry into the US because he expressed a negative opinion of Donald Trump and his policies
The US is NOT safe for researchers anymore
I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months from now, several countries officially discourage their citizens from visiting the US

Le ministre de la recherche a dit sa « préoccupation », mercredi, après cette décision des autorités américaines. Le chercheur du CNRS aurait subi un contrôle aléatoire à son arrivée, avant que son ordinateur et son téléphone ne soient fouillés.

Let’s just assume No Child is Left Behind. Let’s just believe Every Student Succeeds. Let’s just trust all states have high standards.
George W Bush once condemned “the soft bigotry of low expectations.” This is the hard bigotry of no expectations.

Hearing that nearly all the employees in the statistics agency inside the Education Department -- NCES (National Center for Education Statistics) -- have lost their jobs. Rumors that the NAEP test -- the nation's report card -- will no longer be run by NCES. This info is not confirmed.

Sweden is now apparently the best Nordic country in mathematics according to the new TIMSS study. The targeted efforts on the core subjects in the school system have probably paid off.
