AMEN!! The US figures thrown around quoted some 10-15 years ago were $3-13,000. Plus those private schools who declined to give any numbers. Here we move around $9,000 for the actual education, plus more for the buildings, etc.. (and the education of teachers get the normal "grants" for every student) Nothing based on local property taxes, but local income flat-taxes, but the higher the eduction, the more funded by the progressive "federal tax" (as those skills are more likely to produce profits outside the local county) Mrs Roosevelt said already in 1930 that funding education with local property taxes (plus this thing about school districts of those days) was the worst one could do. Luckily most believed her.
