I inadvertantly crossed two thoughts, with the result that part of my
post says precisely the opposite of what I meant.

The relationship between failing schools is in *direct* proportion to
the moneys "invested." It is student performance and outcomes that have
been worsening as more money is poured in. That's the *inverse* part of
my statement. Net result, you don't have much of a chance to teach
students wisdom when you can't even teach them to read, and the more
money thrown at it, the worse it gets.
