The cost of educating a child depends on a variety of factors, and these costs can vary greatly depending on the country, state or even the specific school district.
In Ohio, there has been a growing debate over fairness. Affluent suburban communities have new buildings and lots of fancy programs, while poorer rural and urban schools struggle.
How do other countries pay for a child’s education? And how do other states pay for their K-12 public schools?
And are there any new and innovative funding mechanisms that should be considered?
