Does Money Matter?
According to the 42nd Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools (Bushaw & Lopez, 2010), 36% of Americans think lack of financial support/funding money is the biggest problem their community public schools must manage. This opinion implies that money spent on schools does matter to student achievement, and theoretically, a host of other individual and social benefits.
Much education research about the effects of various school inputs on student achievement has taken place since the 1966 Coleman Report mentioned in the Introduction to this module.
To prepare for this Discussion, review the Learning Resources for this module. Consider a variety of inputs that have been used to increase student achievement. Choose one input that has not been discussed in this course. Locate a study that examines the effect of the input on student achievement from an economic perspective. Review this module’s media discussing cost analysis. Consider the role cost analysis plays in determining whether "money matters" that is, whether the school inputs that come at a financial price actually can yield increases in student achievement.
