Just Not Right
When you live in an area where the resources are there and children are given more opportunities of being successful there is still inequalities in resources. This year for example I have two children going off to college in the fall and this is where the resources vary. Children that goes to a good high school and live in a two parent household may be able to pay for SAT prep classes which are very expensive, Whereas the children from single parent households may not be able to afford, This is where the dilemma comes in at.
Those children that do take SAT prep class have a 95% chance of scoring higher than a child without that prep. Now is that still allowing children the same opportunities absolutely not. So even though the resources may be available at the same school our financial situations at home still set students apart. Inequality is still financially based when the resources are there, so in all honesty there can always be outside factors that make inequality still inevitable.

Good post. Sadly there are always outside forces contributing to further inequality. It is to bad that children are getting deprived of equal resources just because they were raised by a single parent.
ReplyDeleteyou are so right... I know how that feels it is horrible how our kids are deprived of opportunities because they are not in the right zip code how crazy is that.
