Georgia’s School System perpetuates racial and economic inequalities. This can account to the fact that Clayton County receives about 20 percent less in expenses per student compared to more economically and racially diverse counties such as Gwinnett or Fulton County. In addition, Clayton County is ranked the highest for having the worst teachers and facilities in Atlanta Metro Area. Thus, the teachers that serve lower income and minority youth are usually under paid, over worked, and inexperienced; reason being, is that minorities and lower income students are three times more likely to be taught by a first year teacher than compared to white and higher income students. Therefore, teachers that serve impoverished communities are uncultivated, and lack the skills, knowledge, and experience as their counterparts serving in more racially and economically diverse communities. Consequently, the overall quality, credentials and education of those teachers are inadequate; as a result the lower income and minority students are denied equal
