Others find little evidence that large increases in spending lead to improvements in educational performance. Do additional school resources actually make any difference?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe evidence on this question offers a striking paradox. Many analysts have found that extra school resources play a negligible role in improving student achievement while children are in school. Yet many economists have gathered data showing that students who attend well-endowed schools grow up to enjoy better job market success than children whose education takes place in schools where resources are limited. For example, children who attend schools with a lower pupil-teacher ratio and a better educated teaching staff appear to earn higher wages as adults than children who attend poorer schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, which grew out of a Brookings conference, brings together scholars f\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038478762327,"sku":"9780815712756","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780815712756.jpg?v=1750940411","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/does-money-matter-9780815712756","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
