"This," he told me, pointing to the garbage bag, then gesturing around him at the other indications of decay and disrepair one sees in ghetto schools much like it elsewhere, "would not happen to white children." (Pg. 44 Kozol and an Elementary School Principle)
This quote struck me as something relating almost directly to our prompt as it shows a Elementary School Principal showing his discontent with the conditions of the school itself caused by an area of low social class that doesn't have the money to fix such things. Things like these should not be the regular for our elementary school students, but because of the social class of the area this is the norm. There isn't enough money to go around in the area for it to be fixed or for anyone to do anything about it. Money is the main cause of the social class boundaries.
Yes, and based upon children receiving a quality education based upon his/her social class, what is your opinion about this?
