PA is 9th in money spent per student. Why?

and 39th in education nationwide. Something doesn't add up. 

I don't see where Pennsylvanians are getting their money's worth. 

If PA was in the top 20% things would make sense.

I don't think that cost per student means as much as some people think it does. Still, it does cost money to educate kids. Still it appears we are not getting enough bang for the buck. Why? We should be getting better results.

Of course taxpayer money is involved here so it might be worth looking into to see why this is. I'm SURE we can find a few bucks that are being misused.
