The Problem of Taxes and Schools

In todays education system the higher tax paying communities have the nicer schools, better teachers, and overall better opportunities to succeed. It is a stereotype that poor individuals are lazy and that when one is born into that class they are stuck in it. Are these students really not succeeding because of heredity or laziness? Or is there more to the story? It just does not seem fair that since students are more well off and can live in nicer houses and pay higher taxes, that they should have better educational opportunities. All students should be able to start off at the same level and should be able to work as hard as they want to succeed. It should not be determined by ones class or level of family wealth.
