Latinos and Black works tend to have to work more than one job to make ends meet. When you have both parents working, possibly more than one job the support for their children’s education will also suffer. The opportunity for minorities to graduate from high school is less than a white student. The ability for minorities to go to college following high school is less than for white students. It is shown that the higher level of education the higher level of income.
A funding formula is a formula that gives a school the same amount of funds for each pupil. This can affect a working class child’s education because if other schools have a higher fund because they are more popular due to better exam results then working class children are unlikely to be able to get a placement at that school so they will be silt-shifted to a less popular school which has lower exam results because of its lack of funding due to its lack of pupils. However, this idea can be criticised because if an unpopular school gets too bad they will be put into special measures by ofsted, this then gives them more funding to try and help improve the school, if this is achieved then their popularity will improve. Silt-shifting is when a school off-loads pupils with learning difficulties who are expensive to teach and so get poor results. This benefits middle class pupils as all the troublesome students are removed from their school it means the teachers have more time for them to improve their grades thus making the school more popular because of their rank in the league tables then letting them cream-skim thus improving the school further.
An educated workforce attracts employers and foreign investment. Socially, a more educated population should have more choices regarding nutrition, jobs and lifestyle. An additional point is that college fees only contribute a small proportion of the college budget. However, I am opposed to free education. First, through their taxes, poor families subsidize rich students who can easily afford to pay fees.
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
A poor diet can also affect the child’s energy levels, so even if they do go into school they find it difficult to concentrate. Students may also be unable to afford equipment or tutors that middle class students would have access to due to their wealth. There is also the matter of the cost of education. If a child wants to continue onto university, then that would take money that parents do not have. Middle class parents would also be able to send their child to a private school, which often results in a better quality of education.
If we needed Average daily Attendance to determine what would or should be the proper funds attendance rates would lower the funds that would be allotted to my school and schools overall. We cannot control the attendance of others we can only encourage great attendance. The school districts that service and educate a large number of students are given more money because it is divided on a particular amount of money, or funds per student. In many under privileged areas they see more
This may mean that the house prices surrounding area (catchment) of the successful schools will increase, as middle class parents move in to try to get their child into the school. This would mean that through middle class economic capital, middle class achievement will improve. Parentocracy also means that as the best schools become over-subscribed they are able to hand-pick the ‘best’ students. Due to a combination of teacher labelling and the A-C economy middle class students are selected over working class students. This is because they are seen as easier to teach and more likely to achieve, due to their middle class
Education to certain people is the base to every job that keeps our nation running. When people are better educated, they are better decisions maker, problem solvers and more driven to help themselves than others. There are differences between one school and the next. The wealthy have extensive opportunities to better educate their children, sending them to the most expensive schools with the most qualified teachers, the best resources and the near guarantee of a college degree and promising career. However, middle class and low class citizens have to take use of what is left over, meaning a lesser education.
In earlier generations, Asian immigrants felt that they were second-class citizens with lower incomes and lower job prestige, compared with white people. After studying relative success of white people, Asian Americans were aware that their humble educational backgrounds caused their low social status. Therefore, for preventing the next generation from repeating the same fate, Asian American parents already start addressing to their children about the idea that "school success is gaining entrance into the best colleges" when their children are still little (Tureba 134). Besides continually asking their children what they plan to do in the future, Asian American parents also "force" their children to choose fields in which they think their children will most likely find success. For instance, Most Asian Americans consider computer science an important field because it "lends itself to other fields well known to them such as programming and electrical engineering.
Academic success is important because it is strongly linked to the positive outcomes we value for children. Not surprisingly, research shows that adults with high levels of education are more likely to be employed, and to earn higher salaries (National Center for Education Statistics, 2001; U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, 1999). Beyond work and wages, academic success is important because working Americans will need higher levels of education to tackle the technologically demanding occupations of the future (Brown, 1999; National Alliance of Business, Inc., 1998). Furthermore, the number of jobs requiring a college education is expected to grow more than twice as fast as those not requiring a college education over the next ten to twenty years (Fleetwood & Shelley, 2000; Rentner & Kober, 2001). Academically successful students will have more employment opportunities than those with less education.
