Specially with the terminally stupid US system where schools funding
is local. That inevitably means that the areas with the most need due
to lots of the dregs of society also have the lowest tax revenue too.

In virtually all other modern first world countrys,
the funding for schools is state or country based.

And the results the catholic systemic schools get
shows that it aint really about money anyway.
