And he was asking his mother why he couldn’t go but that’s the only school he wanted to go to. The reason I say this challenged my thinking is because it limit kids when they same they can’t go to this school or that’s school. Kids want to go to school they are happy at and if the little boy went to school in his district he wouldn’t be successful. Because he wouldn’t have the drive to go every day to be successful. The thing that surprised me was that the president of the school system stated that he send his five year old daughter on a bus to go to school a hour away from the house. I wouldn’t know how to feel about putting my child on a bus for an hour and she only five. I understand he wants the best for his child but why don’t you put her in the school system you apart of. Because he know that his school system is not right and that’s wrong for all the other kids but he not doing anything to change it. He could least try and better the program at the school but because his child not going there it really don’t matter to

    The reason why I believe that education is more selective is because if the child wanted to get into a better secondary school rather than the failing local ones they had to be accepted into a prestigious school out of town. This opportunity was not offered to all of the children in this community. Out of all the children in this book there are only two examples of this happening. Another example on how this policy was selective was there were two local public schools within this area PS 30 and PS 65. From what I read your future success really depended
