Middle-Class American Education

Decent Essays
The education system has been a burden to many middle-class Americans. According to Robert Putnam, professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School says students worry about their family’s income rather than focus his or her education and smart poor kids have a low chance to graduate from college than a rich dumb kid because of the lack of resource available to them. Especially, finding jobs can be complicated when many middle-class jobs “favor the more educated” for qualifications. To those without college degree are practically “loss” in economic status. (Pew research center) To those who completed college believed having a post-secondary education would elevate his or her social mobility but, sadly are beaten by student debt. Student

    The Weberian model of the U.S. class structure made me think of my grandparents who arrived in this country as working poor and eventually saw their children become part of the middle-class. It then made me realize how much things have changed for the middle-class over the last few decades. Neither of my parents finished high school and yet both were able to obtain gainful employment. It seems that back then the lack of a high school diploma did not automatically exclude a person from certain positions or the ability to advance within a company. By the time I entered the workforce, positions like the ones my parents started out in now required an applicant to have a high school diploma in order to qualify.…

    The year was 2014. I was a senior in high school, already I had committed to go to Colorado Mesa University, I had a track scholarship and I was going to major in Geology, ultimately wanting to go into petroleum engineering. The only thing was, I didn’t want to. I did not want to go be a geologist, I wanted to travel, to see the world! As cliché as it may have been, I dropped out, I worked for a period of time and sent myself on a trip to Europe to “find myself”.…

    Nearly one half of all college-qualified, low-and moderate-income high school graduates are unable to afford college. During the first decade of the twenty-first century, 4.4 million high school graduates will not attend a four-year college, and about 2 million will not attend no college at all (Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance 2002). I think the most important social problem is the increasing cost of college tuition, not only is this a personal trouble, but a public issue as well. It is a personal trouble because you cannot receive the education you need to pursue your possible future career and a public issue because the higher the tuition cost, the higher unemployment rate. Most students are eligible for grant aid, a transfer…

    The article "The Danger of Telling Poor Kids that College Is the Key to Social Mobility" by Andrew Simmons brings up a great idea of what the teachers and counselors are telling the underprivileged students the wrong thing. As Simmons brings up students should not be told that college is the only way to reduce economic hardship and that’s the only point to try attend college. He expresses that students should see a college education as a stepping stone to a great career and be able to give back to the community or be able to create their own company. He also expresses that students are taught differently as those “from wealthier backgrounds to be innovators and creators while the poor kids who do very well in school are taught to be educated, capable employees.” I personally agree with the points Simmons brings up about how students should not be “taught to be educated, capable employees” but rather “to be innovators and creators.”…

    Education is often seen as the gateway to success. It is seen as unfair when a child born into a wealthy family has great education opportunities than that of a child born below the poverty line. With the job market being as highly competitive as it is, for a people without college educations it can be even more difficult to find well-paying jobs than those with a college education. If a person is uneducated and is working a minimum wage paying job, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve the lifestyle that is the “American Dream”, to escape poverty and to thrive economically. Being uneducated also comes with a stigma, that being uneducated makes a person lesser than a person that does have an education.…

    are severely effected by the student loan default rates. Social location has a major impact on the way in which students attend and fund their higher education. Those individuals who are not economically able to fund their college education are either left out of higher education, or must resort to taking out student loans to cover the cost. By taking out student loans, individuals are entrapping themselves in a lifetime of debt to both private and government institutions. David Bergeron, a former education advisor to the White House Administration, said “ [i]t’s [higher education] supposed to lift people up, out of their circumstances and leave them better” (Fuller & Belkin).…

    The income gap limits the opportunities of the working class and widens the advantages of the richest Americans. Upper-class Americans can afford an increasing amount of extracurriculars for their children that allow them to get ahead start at a very young age. According to an article in the Atlantic, between the 1990s and the 2000s, the gap between money spent on children in higher classes and lower classes has only grown (Garland). As a result of decreasing incomes, families in the lower half of income distribution have to spend less on their children than previously (Garland). Now more than ever success in education and in life is based on assistance and financial support.…

    While it is true that diplomas will not solve America’s issues of wealth disparity, there is evidence presented in this article that proves education will create some improvements. According to the writer, “those Americans making less than three quarters of the rest of the population would increase by 9 percent, or about $3,020 a year”. Although the writer concludes that these improvements are miniscule, he does not provide alternative solutions that would render the same, if not, greater results. It is understood that our…

    From the day we start school, it is drilled into our brain that college is the only way to have a good future, but that may not be the case at all. Just ask Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. Although it helps to have a revolutionary idea like these men, it is not necessary. Ordinary people can also achieve success without a college degree. At least, that’s what Charles Murray in his article “Are Too Many People Going to College?”…

    According to the 2011 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report findings, full time workers were less likely to be among the working poor than were part-time workers. Out of those who were in the labor force for over 27 weeks, 4.2% of those employed full time were categorized as the working poor, compared with 14.4% of part-time workers. African Americans and Hispanics were more likely to be amongst the working poor in reference to Asians and Whites. Women were also more likely to be amongst the working poor in reference with men. Attaining higher levels of education diminishes the likelihood of being classified as working poor.…

    Over the past hundred years, there has been a major evolution in the American life. No longer is obtaining a lifelong career, through years of education, confined to those only in certain areas lucky enough to afford it. Today, many people, in all areas of the country, are attending college and reaping its benefits. Naturally, the work industry has grown to accommodate for this, with many jobs requiring employees to have a college degree. Those who receive a higher education experience a myriad of benefits over those who only have a high school diploma.…

About one in seven people lives below the poverty line, according to the U.S. Census Bureau (qdt. In David H. Freeman 51). As a result, following a higher education for them is almost impossible.…

    Economists point to the importance of the middle class in supporting economic growth. Although, globalization has influenced trends in employment and education standards. It is apparent that previous governmental education standards have now fallen short in comparison to international standards. It is imperative to reform education in the United States to maintain our standing amongst other industrialized nations. Government supported tuition at the community college level will encourage more student to transition beyond high school and enter into college at a savings to the overall undergraduate cost that will provide the marketable skill needed in today’s job market.…
