So schools in areas with high property values are better funded and often provide higher quality education. The inverse holds true. So even if two children both have an opportunity to go to school, they can receive wildly different educations. Also people from higher economic backgrounds get more opportunity to just focus on school. When I was a senior in High School I took 6 AP classes. When that workload ended up being too much, I quit my job at Target so I could focus on my studies. I could do that because I only really had the job to develop work experience and not because my family or I needed the money. Someone from a less affluent background doesn't get that same option. It is these little things that add-up over time. --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard! |
