High Noon

In a survey, conducted by the sophomore class on October 19, 2015, students were asked if they felt teachers spoke with them often about their plans after high school. A majority of the students felt like very few teachers ever asked about their futures plans either it was college or a job.

The social justice issue that I chose to write about is that of the education gap. There are huge discrepancies in the learning experiences among students who are supposed to be getting “equal” education.

I have seen this firsthand because I have gone to a number of different schools. One of the biggest problems surrounding this issue is that it continually perpetuates…
