Literacy With An Attitude

In the article Patrick Finn speaks about the different school systems going by class. The differences between Working class school, middle class school, affluent professional school, and executive elite schools. Speaking about the difference between all the classes and the working class school are the school which have the teachers who care less about giving the students the proper education.

While reading this article I was actually getting a little upset about how different each class is. Its just crazy to know that money even runs how you are being taught. Its kind of disgusting to me. Very frustrating to read the difference between the executive elite school and the working class school.

In the executive elite school the students are taught to work more independently and students had to teach each other lessons. They had more complex, sophisticated, and analytical type of work. Versus the working class who hardly have enough books to give to each student. The difference in the teachers is crazy also. How does where you live and come from and how much money you have, have anything to do with how you should and could learn. Yes the students in working class probably don't have enough time to work at home then the kids in the elite schools, but why should that affect how they are being taught.

It is very frustrating just to think that this really does happen in this world. Its like only giving a chance for success to the people with money because once again the people in the working class need to work even harder to have a little success.
