There is a difference between curriculum of Rich class School and Poor class school.

This can explain students who are from Poor class have less ability and less will about study against the students who are in Rich class. Also, Amy Wilkins, who is the debater of the NPR show, argues that “We see in lots of parts of our society that bridge getting narrower and narrower, and education is another place where the bridge is getting narrow” (NPR, 7). She explains the achievement gap between Poor class students and Rich class students as a bridge, it is getting narrow due to the gap is getting bigger and bigger. In Korea, as an example of this, there is huge issue about private education. Most of private schools and tutors are very expensive, so it is hard to take private education to Poor class students. On the other hand, some students, who were born to Rich parents, and enroll in private educations like institutions or tutors, so there are significantly huge gaps on the transcripts.

This system is totally wrong to this century, it’s purpose does not fit into the reality and present circumstances. Also, it does not utilize better technology and developed mind well. To solve these problems, federal and local government, department of education and each schools need to make effort as they can in the way to develop the education system by making laws or restrictions and observing students’ accomplishment. The government has not discussed education problems, but now it is the time for them to realize how important it is. Without further improvement in educating system, students would not learn what they really need to achieve their goals. We need to provide “true” education rather than “fancy”

The group was in agreement that although the decree is definitely needed there are many problems that could happen during…

    According to Kozol, poor kids can’t get access to everything like wealthy kids, and the government doesn’t do anything to fix this, that would work against poor kid’s school performance like, teen-age pregnancy, drug issue, and other problem in poor neighborhoods. Speaking about poor neighborhoods, Kozol also added, “In the United states, very poor communities place a high priority on education, and they often tax themselves at higher rates than the very affluent communities. But even if they tax themselves at a much higher rate than an extremely wealthy district, they still end up with much less money for each child in their school.” these policies leave majority students with fewer and lower-quality books, curriculum materials, laboratories, and computers. The government must do something about this. All poor and rich kids deserve to have good…

    In education the quality of technology and equipment is different depending on the school and the income range within that school. Also, technology is growing at a rapid rate, which causes even more of a divide because everyone can’t afford to use it or have it. This is where equity needs to come into play because each school can have the same number of computers, the same newer technology, and a better understanding of the technology to implement it towards the school’s education, which will give students equal education opportunities. The future implications of technology use I believe there should be programs that treat all schools equally, whether they are a lower or higher income. Companies should donate more to help fund these schools so that they can afford better books and equipment.…

    Graff states, “It is self defeating to decline to introduce any text or subject that figures to engage students who will otherwise tune out academic work entirely.” If the education system did more to find common ground with the students then possibly they would be more receptive to what their being taught. If students are being educated in a manner that treats them as if they are of no purpose it makes it difficult for students to believe that they have a…

    It has been in existence and evolving since the beginning of public education. By not providing the public schools with the financial support needed to educate our student they are lacking necessary tools to teach the way that produces the ultimate level of learning. Students are held back from reaching their highest potential. Underfunded districts, as The Post 's Valerie Strauss wrote this week, inevitably struggle to afford special-education staff, smaller classes, better computers and teacher development, among many other…

    If teachers do not know how to use technology correctly to engage students then it’s a waste of money. Schools need to have a plan on how to use their technology; if they don’t then they are just hoping on the bandwagon and having fancy technology just to have it. If the funding does not come from the taxpayers then it comes…
