Liberty, Justice And Education For All
Liberty, Justice, and Fair Education for All
Why is it that the wealthiest public schools in the United States receive more funding for its schools than the poorest public schools? Why does the “No Child Left Behind Act”, inadvertently promotes schools to keep students out, hold back or push out those that don’t achieve the set scoring that is required, but as an alternative, reward schools for putting those students with low scores into special needs (education) classes or by retaining students in grades so that those levels scores will look better, excluding low scoring students from admissions and encourage others to dropout or leave school so that they can receive government funding?
I found that it is fact that the education system in the United States has been unequal since before the ruling of Brown verses Topeka, Kansas Board of Education. In that historic case the decision was for intergradation, but even though schools are intergraded there is still inequality in the education system which may have originate from the, “No Child Left Behind Act”, that was passed during the Bush Administration.
Inequality in the education system have transpires because of the mark that the states have set for the students from the more disadvantaged schools. Yet they expect the educator to close the gap between the achievers and those that cannot achieve while the disadvantaged school continue to lack adequate funding.
