Introduction
The documentary Children in America’s Schools, based on Jonathan Kozol’s book titled “Savage Inequalities: Children in America’s Schools”, compares Ohio’s richest and poorest schools by exposing the monumental affects local property taxes have on the quality of education for students. Collapsed ceilings, torn textbooks and overcrowded classrooms describe the schools in the impoverished districts. The schools in wealthier districts have advanced facilities, with computer labs, Olympic sized pools, robotics labs, and advanced courses. These discrepancies are a result of local property taxes funding schools. These school districts represent the differences among all suburban, rural, and inner city schools in America. These issues
