Answers:
Not really, and not equally, for the most part!. At least in the United States, public schools are paid for out of *property taxes*!. Which means, basically, *anything* that drives the wealth in real estate *downward*--the value of land, houses, buildings--ends up screwing money out of the education system!.

This is why rich neighborhoods get *so much* money they can waste it on golf carts and jacuzzis for the cheerleaders, while poor neighborhoods have to go *begging* for books, desks, pencils, and needed repairs to keep buildings *safe and habitable*!.

Really!. Search for the whole phrases, quotes and all, of "white flight", "public schools" and "United States cities"!. Just copy and paste, no spelling required!.

It's sad and wretched!. And politicians want to sell you on *vouchers* and *private schools* and further abandonment of "other people's children", rather than fix the mess and fund public schools *equally* across the board!. >_< WTF!?

And yet we complain when students of *some colors* don't read or write or speak so clearly, or competently!. Some of this *is* in fact our fault in terms of rigging an unfair means of funding--using regressive, wealth-favoring forms of taxation to *under-fund* a needed *public good* or two (literacy and human intelligence, for examples)--that cheats children out of a fair shot at *life*!. And yes, it's rigged and unfair because only *some children* get screwed, and it's NEVER EVER the rich white kids in the suburbs, it's always some Child of Color in the inner city, or *anyone* out in the "boonies" or "trailer parks"!.

So in short!.!.!.tax payers pay, but they don't pay the schools *enough* in neighborhoods like yours or mine to *do their jobs*!. Which is why your mom has reason to be cynical!.

I hope this was helpful!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes, a portion of your taxes (both retail and property) goes to education costs!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
