I assume Canada doesn't primarily use local property taxes to pay for schools. This whole better schools thing is in higher income areas is a self imposed problem in the US.

Would that really solve it? If the funds for schools are raised from local property tax, then wealthier areas will still have the best funded schools will they not?

My sentence was confusing. The point was that school funding shouldn't come from local property taxes. This method in the US simply makes the divide between rich and poor even greater. And my badly made point was that this problem in the US is self imposed b/c of how schools are paid for.
