"Still Separate, Still Unequal: America's Educational Apartheid" Quote #4

"There are expensive children and there are cheap children,"
(Pg.45 Marina Warner)

Most would look at this quote and say, "How pretentious are you to classify children by how much money they are worth." However this quote is right in its meaning of saying that there are children raised in rich learning-environments and neighborhoods. Money allows one to get a better education however not all those that go to schools more fortunate then schools in poorer areas end up going farther then those apart of poorer neighborhoods. The values of the education are decided by the students that go there, if they don't use what's there then that's their prerogative. Money is the main cause of social class boundaries.
