Introduction
In Johnathan Kozol’s Savage Inequalities, one student named Jezebel recounted the time when she knew that her school was not equally funded as other schools, “they have that money goin’ to their schools. They have a nice clean school to go to. They have carpets on the floors and air-conditioned rooms and brand-new books. Their old books, when they’re done with them, they ship them here to us.” (Kozol, 2012, p. 210). Students like Jezebel are aware that their schools do not get as much funding as another school, more notably suburban schools.
Schools are funded with property taxes, and schools that are well funded have a concentration of people that are typically middle class or of higher income levels, meanwhile, poorly-funded …show more content…
(Newmann, 1981) However, with so many outside factors beyond the classroom (education politics, school finances, and parental involvement) it is hard to pass up any reforms to help these students. In result, these students undergo hidden curriculum that teaches lower-class students to conform in order to prepare them for a working-class job while students from better-funded school are taught to express individuality to prepare them for white-collar …show more content…
The study will look at students from two different schools from the same district. The independent variable will be the schools themselves, one that spends around $6,000 per student per school year (low-funded school) and one that spends around $20,000 per student per school year (well-funded school). Another independent variable will be the surveys themselves as every student will get receive the same survey. The scores will help measure whether there is a significant difference in scores between students from the two
