The way the teachers teach, the respect the students have towards their teachers and lastly their belief about school. “She wasn’t going to college, and she just couldn’t bring herself to tell him.”
The main theme of the book was the fact that even if your labeled into a "class" it is not something that should define your self worth.

We can’t define people self-worthiness by judging on what they have. Everyone is equal and that is the message that the author is trying to convey.
