Old teacher here
who taught math and physics for 35 years. Throwing money at me was not an answer. Throwing money at the families of some of my students would have helped a lot more. Once I had my basic equipment, all I wanted was graph paper and chalk. We made most of the weird stuff we needed (another lesson there, perhaps).
I would have been very happy to see my students go home to an involved parent, have a nice dinner, do some homework and come to school rested, fed and unafraid. No one wants to talk about the real reasons for "sub-par" educational outcomes.
