you forget that usa has another system as many other countries and therefore you can't just use financial numbers to compare them. if you want to really learn something in usa you have to go to an college/university, as example here in germany you don't always go to something like that to learn the same as people in usa learn. here in germany you have universities or apprenticeships where you work three years in a company as apprentice and only go to a special school few hours a week to learn theory. it's hard to explain for me^^
you get money from the company but much less as if you would be a full employee with completed apprenticeship. many jobs you have to go to university for in usa work like that here. the government has less costs then because the companies have the costs but therefore they have them in their company learning in the company and working for that company which is not bad for that company. so, in the end government is spending less here per capita but people still learn the same here. (but we still spend too less for the schools they go to before they start with that)
maybe the problem is that universities, especially the top universities get billions for research and whatever but the normal schools where people go to the first years in their life don't really get more than 40 years ago (except the increase of financial capital to work against inflation). but since i don't really know american highschools and such things it is only a theory.
