A Jaundiced View of "Adequacy" in School Finance Reform.
Hanushek, Eric A.
Educational Policy, v8 n4 p460-69 Dec 1994

There are real problems with U.S. education (declining school performance, enormous school income disparities, and ever-increasing costs) that should be addressed through incentive schemes based on student performance.
