I also agree that our Country needs to find ways to equalize access to
quality education. Funding by way of the local Property Tax does not
do that. The poorer district all over the Country deal with terrible
conditions in buildings and supplies and books, etc. Down the road in
a well off suburb you will always see beautiful buildings with all the
extras you can imagine. That is not equality. That is perpetuating
inequality.
