This week in class we covered segregation inside education. We looked at ways to solve the problem that is going on with segregation inside education and what would be the best way to go about doing that. We started discussing this by presenting that not all schools are made up of same race, nor class. The main factor of what class and race makes up a school is its location. Races and class in schools is directly based of the race and class that surround the area where the school is located. A school located in a rich white neighborhood is likely to have low class minorities in that school and vise versa a school located in the projects is not going to have rich white kids attending that school. This plays a huge role in the education part. The class, race, and location of the school usually determines the quality of the education that is provided at the school. In a better part of the city the education is likely to be better than a school in the projects. This happens due to the amount of resources school like that have. The race and class of a school also plays a large part in the education by who attends that school. Numbers show that in schools with a lower class and more minorities attending have lower test scores.
Below I have posted an article from the Washington Post explaining some of the reasons I talked about above. It also states ways and steps that may be taken to help strive for a more all around equal education and a way to help fix segregation in education. I hope you read it and find some of the ways interesting as I did and see if you can see the ways projected in the article will actually help.
