Wealthier societies have exceptional educational services which include better teachers, utilities, and curriculum, whereas poorer societies just get by on the bare minimum. Children who do not become well educated will not succeed as far as they may like to because their knowledge and qualifications will limit them. Without that education, it is extremely difficult for individuals with low incomes to overcome the poverty barrier and they will most likely end up in a
For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out. Poverty is an example of man's inhumanity to man because people could go out and help, but most do
Federal intervention has failed to improve scores in part because the top-down rules that come with aid have squelched local innovation.” This statement is utterly false. For one I don’t think that schools get nearly enough if you look at Fermi High School for instance we have nothing that is up to date including text books computers and on top of it all teachers don’t get paid nearly enough as they should what teachers do each and every day is a passion for teaching not making money. Another reason why I do not like this article is because he uses the test scores as a point to make. In reality test scores are not a way that you can describe someone there are plenty of smart people that just may do badly on tests. The people that would hate a rule change like this one would be teachers and students because many of these politicians don’t see what really is going on is public schools.
Learning new language is not an easy thing because if you want to learn that, you have to understand about their cultures too. In "The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society," Jonathan Kozol argues that illiteracy is powerlessness. Reading helps people get good jobs, a good job allows that person to make money, and making money allows that person to buy the basic necessities of life. Being able to read and write is one of the most important skills a person needs. Being literate allows people to understand and have the ability to achieve almost any
Vocational Education gives no chance for the person to prosper academically in any way, simply it teaches the children and some adults information that only pertains to a specific menial job. The Urban Indian Experience in America by Donald Lee Fixico portrays all of the challenges that are presented to Native Americans living in modern America. In this book, Fixico utilizes the account of a past native student, “David Richmond argues that the schools on the reservation paid little attention to the students grades because they were prejudice (Fixico,156).” Fixico’s book portray how the Indian Education Act of 1972 isn't protecting the Native Americans education, but rather just blanketing the problem. This account of Richmond shows a school system that is truly corrupt. He helps clear up that there are no possible paths that students may take to succeed and this leads ultimately to failure.
We have been called “the melting pot”. Because people come here from different countries, they almost always can not speak English. Some people learn it quickly, for some it may take time, and others never learn it at all. This all may depend on a person’s financial ability to pay for an English course or the rate at which people learn. I don’t think the lack of desire to learn is a common reason as to why people never learn to speak English while living in this country.
Most people growing up in the 21st century don’t know much about segregation other than what they’ve heard or read. Most people have never experienced segregation in person. Being segregated would take back all the hard work people have put in for equal opportunity and the right to be integrated. Segregation is wrong for multiple reasons. The first and most obvious reason is that it takes away equal opportunity whether society admits it or not.
As human beings, optimal health is dependent on making valuable contributions to the community in which we live and paid employment is one of the most common ways to achieve this. A lack of proper education is also contributing to the inability to obtain employment, leaving the future of the younger generation of these communities in jeopardy. This is due to cultural practices being emphasised over mainstream schooling and education. It is hardly surprising that Northern Territory students in 40 'Homeland Learning Centres'- so called schools that do not have qualified teachers every day- cannot read, write, or count with programs like teaching children to count with rocks and leaves. In 1988, the Government set a target to 'close the gap in Indigenous education' within four years, unfortunately this did not happen.
Also, you have to have the proper paper work, such as birth certificate, social security number, and in poor countries most people never get their hands on their documents, because of government, and in some places this paper work is never even created (Alvarez 1). Also, poor housing and natural disasters can cause you to lose things of this sort. In poorer foreign countries if they get this documentation it may be the only copy of it. So, if it is lost there is no getting it back of replacing
If we did not advance in society we could not improve many aspects of life, such as healthcare, technology, or economic standing. If everyone was “equal” in society, the society would not grow because people would be content with what they have. People do not want to work to enhance the living style of someone else who does nothing but sit around all day. It is important to find the middle between individualism and the helping of society. It is important to help others.
