According to the United States Department of Education students who live in two parent homes, and are considered to live in a stable environment are more prone to graduating from high school with a higher GPA than those living in impoverished areas. The search for solutions to the problem of low achievement in schools serving children raised in poverty is not a new phenomenon.

William Carbonaro discusses the “Coleman Report” and the differences in school sectors. James S. Coleman concluded in the Equality of Educational Opportunity disadvantaged children learn better in well-integrated classrooms. It is argued that schools in rural demographic areas as being detrimental to students’ achievement. It is believed availability of advanced courses taken at all schools, no matter the area, would narrow the difference in the achievement gaps (Carbonaro & Covay, 2010). Critically thinking it is important to examine the sector differences from different perspectives, which is a limitation that the article has. The small size of rural schools helps to alleviate and combat the poverty rate amongst students which is a factor that can have effects on achievement rates of students in high …show more content…
The longitudinal study results found that students that are in rural areas often lack quality resources that will provide their students with an education that lead to higher education. The researchers found that academic achievement was less related to the quality of a student's school, and more related to the social composition of the school, the student's sense of control of his environment and future, the verbal skills of teachers, and the student's family background. However, on the other hand distance education may not be feasible in some rural areas due to a lack of computers and Internet, so it is not always a viable supplement for lack of resources (Carbonaro & Covay, 2010). Also, schools in rural areas take a direct, active role in deciding what their students should learn versus those that are located in suburban and urban areas that have little to no say so in what their curriculum, just the methods of
Race In America
1856 Words | 8 PagesFor example, “the wealthiest 10 percent of U.S. school districts spend nearly 10 times more than the poorest 10 percent, and spending ratios of 3 to 1 are common within states” (Darling-Hammond). In wealthier, suburban areas, most students have the resources available to benefit their educational needs, including; projectors, computers, and calculators. In contrast, “at MacKenzie High School in Detroit, word processing courses are taught without word processors because the school cannot afford them” (Darling-Hammond). For students coming out of lower income communities, it is more difficult for them to attend college, or excel because of the lack of academic preparation. Now not only are many Americans not getting a good education, but as a
Cutting Through The Hype Chapter Summary
1269 Words | 6 PagesIntroduction Jane L. David and Larry Cuban do a great job of informing the reader of issues involving closing the achievement gap in education in their book, “Cutting Through the Hype”. David and Cuban, friends and colleagues for forty-five years, collaborated yet again to revise “Cutting Through the Hype” to re-address the “far more pronounced” effects of the federal role and the philanthropic foundations in funding and setting the policy agenda for reforming U.S. schools.

Despite a decline, due to the economic crisis, since the 90’s, the sum of exports and imports is now higher than 50% of global production; France for example double its trade openness going from 15% in the 1980’s to more than 35% in 2010.

Giroux Cultural studies seems to have passed into the shadows of academic interests, replaced by globalization and political economy as the new millennium’s privileged concerns among left academics. Yet, cultural studies’ longstanding interest in the interrelationship of power, politics, and culture remains critically important. Matters of agency, consciousness, pedagogy, and rhetoric are central to any public discourse about politics, not to mention education itself.

Comparing The Charter School Expansion Act And No Child Left Behind
740 Words | 3 PagesSchools servicing low income students are being shortchanged districts disproportionately distribute funds. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Education, “The analysis of new data on 2008-09 school level expenditures show that many high-poverty schools receive less than their fair share of state and local funding, leaving students in high-poverty schools with fewer resources than schools attended by their wealthier peers.” Providing more resources and a better education for students in wealthier areas not only increases the achievement gap, but it increases the social status gap in America. While the nation acknowledges that inequality is an issue, proper action is not being taken. Until this issue is seriously addressed and action is taken, and poorer schools are provided the necessary tools to succeed, the public school system in America will not have the opportunity to produced skilled
