I probably should stay out of this, but I really don't see where money is an issue at all here. Proper spelling is an attitude; either it matters to you or it doesn't. No matter how much money is thrown at schools (public or private), people won't take the effort to spell correctly unless they're expected to.

Johnny can go to a school that spends $100,000 per student, but he still won't care about spelling unless his parents, siblings, relatives, and friends give him shit over it. And if they don't, he'll get a job making test guidebooks loaded with incorrect spellings because it was never that big of a deal to him before.
