Intro (Thesis Statement): The education gap between high and low-income districts is

a wicked problem, as it involves layers that are impossible to predict. To address this
issue effectively, collective efforts are required to ensure equitable access to quality
education and implement policies that decrease the gap and create equal opportunities
for all students, regardless of their background. Figuring out how to close the
education gap is not only important morally but also important to the advancement of
society.

Here are two key points and the outline for those key points.

Tuitions：

-Although there is no tuition for public schools, the idea of tuition is important to keep
in mind when thinking about private education or higher education. High-income
families are more likely to be able to pay for their children's private schooling or
college tuition, giving them access to possibly better educational options.

Geographic
-A school's financial performance, as well as its resources and performance, can be
significantly affected by its discontinuity. Schools in urban, suburban, and rural areas
encounter significant obstacles and problems. Suburban areas generally receive more
financing than rural or some urban areas.

Please write 3-4 pages to explain the key points and the outline.
