If you're trying to make the argument of diminishing returns for spending on education, that's pretty non-controversial.
I don't think chart B1.1 helps you make that case, I think per student numbers are probably a wash to that end unless several other factors are taken into account. Of the countries in that study, we're number 5 for primary school spending per student, number 4 for secondary school spending, and number 1 for tertiary spending (and number 3 for total spending if we include educational "services"? Not sure what that means.) That data isn't painting a clear picture of America overspending on education.
We also attract a large number of international students and they bring some money with them, some of them bring a lot of it.
