the problem is school taxes are usually a part of property taxes, at least in the region I'm from. I think this is the same throughout the country(?)

so the amount of school tax one pays isn't a flat tax or a fee based on the amount of the resource one uses (such as a water bill or sewer bill or garbage collection or most other things people use varying amounts of from the city) it is based instead upon the value of your property, which is an irrelavent basis for calculation.

It would be a stretch but perhaps conceivable to tax business property since they would in theory be eventually benefiting from the educational process, however taxing home owners based on the size/value of their land is just absurd.
