Totally? That would indicate that it's always false. From my
research on the topic, putting money into a school doesn't
necessarily make it better, but taking money out almost always
makes it worse. Incidentally, comparing funding levels at private
and public schools won't give any useful information since most
private schools require a level of parental participation which
public schools are not capable of demanding.
