Is more school funding really the key to better student outcomes—or does how we spend matter more than how much?
In this episode of The Right Idea, host Brian Phillips and TPPF’s Andrew Brown sit down with Dr. Eric “Rick” Hanushek, Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, to explore one of education’s toughest questions: Do dollars drive results—or does design and discipline matter more?
Dr. Hanushek is one of the world’s leading experts on the economics of education. His groundbreaking research has shaped how policymakers think about teacher quality, school finance reform, and student achievement.
Together, the panel dives deep into:
- The myth that more spending equals better outcomes
- Texas’ $100B+ public education budget
- What’s working in Dallas, Houston, and Washington, D.C.
- The rise of administrative bloat in public schools
- Teacher pay, accountability, and school choice
• • The impact of AI in the classroom and the future of learning
