The Board of Education wants the best for students by closing schools, a lot can’t be accomplished by establishing closures across the country. A different approach must be met to help the education system. The budget crisis represents that the world of capitalism will do anything to find money by raiding the public education in pursuit of profit. With a proof of databases of students failing conducted by the Board of Ed., and schools lacking performance, gives the public facts of school
Certain schools that take after the name of Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and other honored leaders are not diverse. In the South Bronx, it is very unlikely to find a white student in the classroom and if there is a white student, their presence is a shock or surprise to the other students. In a Seattle district made up of about half Caucasian families, mostly black students occupied the Thurgood Marshall Elementary School. White parents in this district would send their children to a mainly white school. Diverse is just a word that schools throw out to make their school look better and welcoming to every race.
That parents stress to children the importance of education all their school lives, but they continue to give money things that are less important, instead they should put money towards the teachers who wants to help make a difference in every child's life. Barber believes that parents should actually display their actions that they care and value their education. He explains who are to blame for the lack of quality education in America. The generations before the young and the government have a partial blame in why the school system is failing. Barber's argument is more superior, because he takes the sociopolitical context of education in to account, where as Henry does not.

I actually think that the white teenager wouldn’t be able to see why the colored boy was hurt, they would just brush it off and give an explanation like “oh the teacher didn’t mean it like that”. Secondly, I feel that because history has had such segregation, either by race, religion or by class, people feel as if they would be going against the norm and what society wants from them. History has taught us that the black people go here and the white people go there so that is what is ingrained in our minds. Also we are taught from a young age to marry our own kind and have the same colored children, for example, look at Barbie and ken dolls; they are the perfect white couple, and do you ever see a five year old white girl holding a black baby doll?. So because people are exposed to segregation at such a young age, when a intermarried
For example they do not try and put more effort into helping schools who are not as wealthy as some of the other ones. Instead with the powerful in control, they only give the wealthy more power. By doing so, they then give the poor a false consciousness. Therefore the conflict theory is demonstrating how this separation of power is bad and is allowing the poor to think as if they have no option but to keep being poor, and this is not the case. There should be more support on the less wealthy education in order to diminish the gap between the education systems and allow the poor to have better life
Public school systems are intended to provide an equal and substantial education to all children who are enrolled from kindergarten through the twelfth grade in high school. However, many urban neighborhoods such as the areas in inner city Houston have been neglected in being provided with education that is of equal stature of those who reside in suburbs and smaller cities. Although budget cuts have happened to schools in the Houston area, urban area schools have been more affected by these cuts before their budgets were lower to begin with. Therefore, urban area schools lack access to education equal to those in suburban areas. This failure to provide equal education is due to economic inequality, teacher quality, and size difference between
For example, in the south, Jim Crow laws prevented blacks from marrying whites. Also, black literacy rates were low in the south because they were not offered the same educational opportunities as whites; states spent ten times more money on white schools than black schools. Also, blacks were expected to address white men as ‘master’ or ‘sir’ whilst being referred to as ‘boy’ themselves. They faced both de facto and de jure discrimination in the south. Also, black housing was significantly worse than white housing – 40% of black housing was substandard whilst only 12% of white housing was.
For example, failing schools are often turned into academies which then specialise in one area and receive investment from the private sector. This makes them more attractive and the school improves. It can, however, be argued that the National Curriculum does not ensure that all pupils receive the same education; private schools, grammar schools and faith schools are exempt from it and get to place emphasis on certain areas in education that they wish to focus on. Also, Coard would suggest that the curriculum is ethnocentric and centres on British society and history and so all the pupils do not receive a similar education. Marxists would also say that the National Curriculum does not ensure a standard education throughout the education system because the education system places more value on middle class knowledge than on working class knowledge and so they are disadvantaged and receive a different education to other classes.
The Advantages of School Uniforms. Many schools in the United States are at odds over school uniforms. In many cases, when uniforms are imposed students feel that their rights are being taken away. However, there are many advantages of school uniforms. One could, probably, highlight an obvious advantage – alignment and avoidance of social conflicts in school that can be generated on the basis of the families’ wealth.
