The article explores the stark differences in public school experiences across various states in the U.S. Hannah shares her observations from traveling and meeting friends in different locations, highlighting that factors such as local property taxes significantly impact school quality and resources. While some educational elements are consistent nationwide, others—like arts programs, sex education, elective offerings, and even school infrastructure—vary widely. Examples of schools in Colorado and Florida illustrate the extremes of what public education can look like in America.
