The USA funds schools municipally, while most other countries fund it federally or state/provincially. Problem with municipalities is that they're too small to issue bonds so their only way to raise money is through property taxes.

USA deliberately did it this way so that they could keep black people in poverty. They red lined them into low property value areas and then made them fund their own schools. That's why every time black communities actually built wealth they were literally bombed and burned to the ground.
