On average, you are technically correct. But the US also has the greatest disparity in funding, which isn't visible on your link but is absolute basic conventional wisdom for any discussion of US education. Fifteen of the fifty states had per-pupil funding less than the OECD average. Our median-funded state is around Canada, around 13th in the world. If Utah were a country, it would rank in the 30s, somewhere around the Slovak Republic. https://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-education-spending-per-pupil-data.html https://www.governing.com/gov-data/education-data/state-educ...
