  • Essay / Compare with social class and still separate, still unequal

    In Jonathan Kozol's essay, “Still Separate, Still Unequal” describes most black and brown students enrolled in the urban area school and for writing students, even if they live nearby In public school districts, if the school enrolls a lot of black and Hispanic students, they will not choose to attend that particular school and will instead enroll in schools in predominantly white. (203) Kozol also highlights the differences in educational levels between inner-city school conditions and those in urban schools. Due to discrimination, each school has a different learning environment as well as different teaching resources. Worse yet, some schools even receive more government funding. This is seen when Kozol states, "There is a high school in Cleveland named after Dr. King in which black students make up 97 percent of the student body, and the graduation rate is only 35 percent." hundred. In Philadelphia, 98 percent of the kids at a high school named after Dr. King are black. At a college named after Dr. King in Boston, black and Hispanic children represent 98 percent of enrollment...." (204) And that's how we saw that there is still discrimination in our country, even though the civil rights movement had already existed for a long time. Therefore, today's school systems still treat students differently based on the color of their skin or their race and segregation in education between. Caucasian students and minority students is almost predetermined by the limits set for these minority students. And the root cause of this situation remains the financial disparity If there is no difference between public schools. and private school, the great distance that has opened up between two very distinct educational worlds will only increase.
