    Savage Inequalities in American Education

    Soc 001 Elizabeth Ortega 4/20/2014 Savage Inequalities Irl Solomons history class Irl Solomons class has four girls in his senior homeroom, all of whom are either pregnant or have babies. This situation is catalyzed by the fact that the diploma offered by the ghetto high schools does not count in the United States job market. It is worth noting that not all students are enrolled in academic programs, nor do they proceed with their college after graduation. Of the 55 graduates, about 20 percent go through four year colleges. 10 percent got to class while 10-20 percent gets to higher education and an equal number join the military. The students in the class complain of unequipped labs, fault typewriters, dirty toilets, inadequate teachers and ignorance by the state as compared to other parts of America. Jennifers views on schools in poor area (Bronx East St. Louis) Jennifer notes that schools in these poor areas are hell, and that is the reason they moved. She argues that people in such areas must take the initiative of changing their lives and the levels of education in their schools. She does not support the idea of taxes from the rich states being used to improve the education status in the poor areas because these areas considered as poor have capabilities to improve the educations standards in their schools. However, she supports the fact that students from both the poor and rich areas should have the opportunity to take the same courses. Schools in poor regions must be equipped with the same facilities as those found in wealthy regions to provide equal opportunities for students. Contrast East St Louis with the school in Rye, New York Schools in Rye, New York, are far much better than the schools in East St Luis both in terms of infrastructure and student composition. In East St Luis, all the students are blacks, while in Rye the students are from different races (White, Asian and Hispanic). Only one to two percent of the students are of Black origin. In Rye,…

    The Vanishing Class By Helfand Summary

    Helfand uses quotes from different member associated with the L.A. school board and throws in a facts and statistics to show the effects. Helfand brings the reader up to date with the decision that lawmakers in Sacramento made in 2004, making algebra a requirement state wide and how the L.A. schools district is “raising the bar again, and that by 2016 all students will be required to have the University of California’s requirements of 3 years of advanced math and 4 years of English in order to receive a diploma.” Not only does he tell what the decision was, but also tells about how “the board approved in a 6-1 vote last…

    Edu 601 Final Paper

    In this class, we have struggled to evaluate the current educational system in order to determine if significant social issues, including increasing regional poverty, and declining literacy rates in specific urban regions are related to economic differentiations in the education system. Because of recent studies, some have considered the issue of educational funding allotments in order to determine a system that provides greater equity between socioeconomically disadvantaged inner-city schools and wealthier suburban, middle class schools. This funding issue has been addressed a number of times. It has been recognized that the foundation for the necessary funding changes have stemmed from the recognition that school funding differences relate directly to sociological issues, including the creation of a cycle of poverty and illiteracy in under funded urban settings.…

It was written by Janet Siew Poh Law and published in the Journal of Reading and Literacy in 2012. The article focuses on getting children from low-income families to read.

The author has the thesis statement of “Therefore, there is a compelling need to get children to read, especially those from families with low incomes” (Law, 2012, p. 8).

    Nclb Act Pros And Cons

    According to this report 13 percent of all 17-year-olds in the United States can be classified as being functionally illiterate (U.S. Dept. Ed., 1983). Additionally, 40 percent of minority youth were functionally illiterate and SAT scores were consistently declining (U.S. Dept. Ed., 1983). The final report of the National Commission on Excellence in Education set forth recommendations for the improvement of the U.S. educational system in a report entitled A Nation at Risk. According to A Nation at Risk (U.S. Dept. Ed., 1983 as cited by Jorgensen & Hoffman, 2003) the federal educational system was in need of reform that provided “the best effort and performance from all students, whether they are gifted or less able, affluent or disadvantaged, whether destined for college, the farm, or industry” (U.S. Dept. Ed., 1983 as cited by Jorgensen & Hoffman,…

    Educational Inequality: Post Brown Vs. Board Of Education World

    Since the founding of the public school system, students of higher SES with more engaged parents have done better and gone on to greater success after school. Furthermore, certain individuals are just born with higher IQ rates, often giving them an edge in the academic environment. Conservative arguments against low SES, funding, and race are irrelevant to the educational argument as they simply refuse to acknowledge them as key variables in education. Ultimately, inequality in education will only be solved when commonsense reforms are made. Increased funding for struggling schools and a workforce that can better relate to students of various SES will lead to an improved perception of the U.S.’ Education System for those in poverty who generally feel irrelevant in it. Once minorities and the impoverished feel included in the system, greater levels of education will ensue resulting in lower levels of inequality and prolonged economic…

    Anotated Bibliography No Child Left Behind

    This article reports the results found by a national survey taken by the state, about the national impact of the No Child Left Behind bill. Results indicate that in between 2001 and 2005 statewide assessment of science and writing increased but it decreased in the social studies, arts, humanities, and computers. The research teams found that there are few themes that come up at almost every school. The first, which is an obvious one, is that for subjects that are not tested for under the No Child Left Behind bill, the schools reduced their resources and the effort that the school puts into these areas dropped. Second, is an interesting method because they take material away from tested subjects and integrating them into the classes that are not tested for. Just so the teachers that are going to be tested have more time to focus on the testing material. The last theme is that there is no change observed, everything seems to be the same as…

    The Importance Of Segregation In Public Schools

    In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled segregation in public schools, unconstitutional. The separate but equal act provided much to be desired for blacks educationally. Today we are experiencing a similar problem. Public schools in communities with a high population of minorities are severely lacking in academic achievement. Public high schools in these communities have been known to have an extremely low graduation rate, while those who do graduate many times academically fall far below those who come from a better district. Predominantly black schools are known to have far less funding than the average majority white school. Education is the first peg on the wheel of racial inequality.…

    Stereotypes Of Minority Students

    Having educational institutions rely on funding from property taxes and other local revenue place minority communities who have historically been forced into low income neighborhoods and continue to be discriminated against in the job market no matter their qualifications at a disadvantage compared to their white counterparts. Even white people who are a part of a low income, underserved neighborhood fair better in education because they do not have negative stereotypes automatically assigned to them that discourages teachers from helping the students realize their full potential. These disadvantages can dishearten students from pursing or completing higher education, leading to their underemployment because they do not meet the standards of the employer and inability to better their neighborhood and school systems for the next generation. This cycle can only be broken by encouraging unbiased testing, minority financial aid, and a new policy that will allocate funds equally between public elementary…

    African American Education Sociology

    Education is a vital tool to economic security. However, Melissa Marschall (1997) has found that current policies demonstrate minorities have been denied equal access to education. She has found that assignment systems based on assessments of language deficiencies or other individual needs are used to separate non-whites from whites. According to Jeffrey J. Mondack and Diana C. Mutz (1997), inequitable school financing is equally detrimental to non-white students. Funding for public schools comes from property taxes. They go along to say that predomintly non-white schools tend to be in central inner city school districts which have a smaller property tax…

    Argumentative Essay On Brown V. Board Of Education

    Students in urban areas already do not have the same advantage as their suburban counterparts causing their education to reflect the environment they come from. An analysis of 2009 graduation rates found that 60.9 percent of high-schoolers in cities graduated across the country, compared with 75.3 percent in suburbs(Butrymowicz). Suburban and Urban schools should receive the same educations with the same amount of funding, privileges, and learning experiences to allow a similar and equal advantage to becoming successful in life. In order to prevent graduation rates from dropping any lower due to neighborhood differences and allowing the achievement gap to become a gaping hole, the government needs to take immediate action financially and socially by giving more funding for education reform specifically to create new ways to prevent high school dropout rates from increasing as well as finding better teachers who can assimilate to the circumstances they are…
