Public Schools: Rich Or Poor?

Many families who are considered poor in society don’t have the same equality of education like the wealthy. Students has no choice to make the best of public schools because their parent’s choose to live in poor areas. Students shouldn’t be limited to high performance standards schools because the inequality of education. Many students that attend public schools are motivated to continue education so they can become successful and have higher socioeconomic status. Comparing to the rich, students who have higher education because parents live in wealthy cities to attend schools with enrichment programs and classes. Most of the students who come from wealthy have more support of their child’s education to brighten and assure their future.

Residents that live in cities with poor economics receive less school funding; on the other hand residents that lives in wealthy cities receive more money. Money is being unequally distributed to the public schools, which is unfair to those who live in poor areas. For an example, public schools in Beverly Hills receive more funding than schools in Compton due to wealth. States and local governments contribute to public school funding’s but, the most monetary impact are by public tax. For an instance, cities that are in middle or poor class usually spent less than richer cities whom have high tax rate. Schools with higher academic performance receive the most financial disbursement. . According to Dennis Condron a Sociologist of Educations states, “At the state level, more than half of the states spend less per student in low-income and heavily minority districts than they spend in high-income and predominantly white districts” (295). The most people who are benefiting from education finances are whites and it’s an inequality because everyone deserves equal funding’s no matter their socioeconomic status. Funding education gets distributed unequal to schools in the same city because it depends on the schools performance. An example of this inequality can be public schools in Whittier; whichever high school has higher performance receives more funds. (Missing a quote and a wrap

Public schools who are not equally funded have limited programs to help students give higher education. Public schools in poor areas don’t have enough money to cover basic programs such as tutoring, summer schools, Advancement placement and other learning programs. Students that live in middle class area have some of these programs but its not enough for educational growth. In comparison to the wealthy schools they have same programs but since their wealthier school they’re able to put more money in the programs than other socioeconomic class and open programs to help enrich learning. High quality programs should be applied to all students who attend school because they all go for a success dream and by limiting programs it takes away the right for successful education. Although sports its not part of education, students do better when playing a sport that they enjoy. Another cause of inequality is buildings from poor cities schools are rusted and old. In comparison to rich public schools have new buildings, desk, or classrooms. All schools should have the right for their school to be a welcoming clean environment. Furthermore, teachers are being unequally underpaid, Dennis Condron says, “Conversely, high-poverty schools are staffed by less experienced and lower-paid teachers” (294). All public schools should be able to hire experienced qualified
