Inequality in Education – Savage Inequalities – Jonathan Kozol ClaimsSeptember 11, 2011Summary 1In Savage Inequalities, Jonathan Kozol claims poor districts are funneled with ninety cents per pupil and rich districts are funded with fourteen dollars per pupil, the wealthy are getting more money a ratio of 1 to 4. In New York City, The Board Education who states that there is no point in putting money into poor Districts because new teachers would not stay there but was proved wrong when they was given a raise teachers decided to stay. There is a great impact on children who attended poor district schools. They have low self esteem and dont believe that they are capable of doing better. And for some reason all this is happening in a all black and Hispanic communities this is a sense of racism. Although there is no evidence to prove that there is racism. While the Board of Education keeps neglecting the poorest districts based on their unfair preference, the students will continue to suffer.
In “The Dream Deferred, Again, in San Antonio” (Savage Inequalities) Jonathan Kozol claims that racial segregation is still alive and well in the American educational system, due to the gross inequalities that result from unequal distribution of funds collected through both property taxes and funds distributed by the state in an attempt to equalize the disbursements of schools. The foundation program works in 3 steps: 1) tax is applied depending on the value of homes and businesses then distributed to the public schools. 2) Rich schools get more money because the area where they live gives their property more value while homes in the poor communities are worthless. This is where the poor take a loss while the rich benefit from it because they live in wealthier communities. 3) Rich school districts are supposed to give more money to the poor schools since they already have sufficient funds and dont need the extra money.

[quote=Jozol2]A few of these issues are more relevant now that college is officially no longer available. But in my long time with KUH, it has been clear that black men, mostly the elderly, with no college degree are much more at risk than whites for being economically marginalized. While all the research shows that low education is at the root of these disparities, we must recognize that these disparities are the result of inequity that causes poor and middle class families to be disadvantaged when they live in poor communities. However, the education gap still exists among the poorest of American families.
[quote=TheDreamSpy]What is common over time is that people come to believe that poverty is caused by a lack of “education” or “education” or “education” for the disadvantaged. However, to really help them, we need to acknowledge that the poor tend to have lower education, a much lower education. If these disparities in educational outcomes could be easily fixed through policies, they would be greatly alleviated.
[quote=TheDreamSpy]How can we hope for any real improvement when we don’t have a mechanism that is working? A school will end up teaching you what to do. If teachers aren’t doing things for you as a teacher, then those who teach you need to do what you want because it is not possible to do that in many states.
[quote=TheDreamSpy]Education is important, and in certain circumstances, it is essential so that those who are in their 40s, 40s, 40s (and especially in the early 20s, like mine, who live just below the poverty line), can enjoy a higher degree and get a job that can pay for college. We must stop trying to get those who are on the low end of this statistic on their parents and on government support so that their kids get a good experience, instead we need to move even further toward the goal that is in a true sense the equality of opportunity for all[/quote]
[quote=TheDreamSpy]Are public schools funding racial discrimination? We need to stop telling them that’s not true and stop using the word racist. They are telling us the truth. We need to stop telling them that in order to provide education, they should have to make it about educating the children who need it and not about teaching them to get it.
[quote=TheDreamSpy]The biggest problem with education in today’s education market is that the educational system is designed to teach and help poor, working poor and minority children succeed. In order to succeed in society, we need to educate them and help them meet the needs that are met while they are still alive. This is especially true when the poorest students are struggling as they are in the public school system.
[quote=TheDreamSpy]It isn’t enough to just teach a particular race and group of students. This is not enough to teach everyone what to do which is in the best interest of all students – every class of the future needs equalization and fairness.”,”source”:”http://www.wonders.com/news/2016-05-06-the-opportunities-for-economic-development-to-improve-education-43661639/”>
[1]The Dream Spy[/b] says we should never let parents take the money in order to afford to help. If we could take money from every family and then use it to help others, we would be fighting for equality across the board. At the same time, if you see people with disabilities struggling because if the money was not for them, so would everyone.“,”p”:”[/1]
