It's not enough funding or misused funding that's the problem, it's how the funds are being used that's the problem.

In my former life I worked in education finance and its eye opening.

First... Fuck Pearson, Fuck Mcgraw-Hill, Fuck Houghton Miflin Harcourt. Also fuck the companies that sell testing templates as a consumable goods.

The three biggest issues are big education companies, grant limitations and SPED mandates.

First, big education: They lobby state governments to change curriculum, even when test scores had been great. "We can always do better!" This creates an endless cycle of states updating curriculum that's not broken and schools shelling out huge sums of money for new textbooks or even worse the yearly consumables that seem to have infected every school system. These companies just always need to be selling and will strip every dollar they can from the budget every year.

Second, grant limitations: A large part of a schools budget are federal pass through grants. These can have many limitations about what percent is spent on supplies or resources and highly encourages paid hours for extra learning time. Extra learning time means kids are in school longer... Kids like adults are tapped out after a full day of school. Additional instruction time has extreme diminishing returns.

Third, SPED is Frankenstein's Monster: While SPED is well intentioned and obviously needed, legality and loopholes has caused SPED programs to spiral out of control. Now basically anyone get an IEP if their parents try hard enough and being placed in SPED can grant real educational advantages. Not only can students get breaks on testing times and other performance breaks, being placed in SPED almost always legally creates a burden for that student to be assigned more and or more expensive resources. If a child isn't placed in SPED parents can sue, and parents are winning more and more of these expensive lawsuits, causing districts to place more and more students into SPED. This causes a lopsided budget where a majority of the funds are being diverted to SPED students. Meaning non SPED have less resources, fall behind and then their parents often try to get them an IEP to be placed in SPED. It's a real problem, with no great immediate solution.

I hated this in the early days of minecraft modding. "see video below for install instructions". The video is 30 minutes long, all I need to know is which modloader this uses or do I dump it in the .jar

Or concept instead of idea.

A concept is the thinking that underlies the idea, or sometimes kind of an interlocking system of ideas that form an understanding.

The ado is the commotion/activity/fuss that is unnecessary. So "without further ado" is just another way of saying "without any more unnecessary fuss [let's get down to the important business we're all here for]"

Ado noun

1: heightened fuss or concern : to-do much ado about the need for reform

2: time-wasting bother over trivial details wrote the paper without further ado

3: trouble, difficulty The journey itself is not described; our heroes disembark without ado at Philadelphia —Anthony Lane
