"...we do not have the things you have. You have clean things. We do not have. You have a clean bathroom. We do not have that. You have Parks and we do not have Parks. You have all the thing and we do not have all the thing. Can you help us?"
(Pg. 44 Eight-year-old to Jonathan Kozol)
This is just unacceptable. An eight-year-old, shouldn't have to ask for this kind of help at this age or any age of person in school should not have to ask for help with things such as clean bathrooms and parks. The main reasoning behind why this eight-year-old doesn't have these "things" is because the area is most likely poor, and devoid of money to fix these problems. Money is the main cause of social class boundaries.
