In the U.S. and UK, the quality and access to education a child receives correlates strongly to their parents income. More affluent neighbourhoods mean better schools. In Canada and Germany, the quality of education doesn't vary nearly as much by income.

You can't compare the United States to other countries because it's different. Sorry.
