While looking at a few articles and deciding what to blog on in our English book, I came across another interesting topic. That is the connection between low-income families, the children they have, and their children's abilities to with basic reading and math skills. What it is saying is most of teens that are in school already have a disadvantage. Their reading, writing, and math scores are so low they would not even stand a chance in the event of going to college, where college is almost one of the most needed things to survive. I do agree with what has been brought up. Just because someone's parents do not have as much money as others in the community do not mean their education and schooling should be any different than the next. They should be focusing on ways to incorporate low-income families into the regular schooling curriculum not just passing them on and cheating them out of a normal education. To me this is somewhat hard to believe, and did not really realize the impact income could have on someone's education. I personally thought that all education could be considered the same, no including private schooling.
Possibly more funding should be provided to schools and students to maintain the proper education needed, would this not follow under the money we give to taxes each year? There really would be no excuse to have this problem unless the factors of success are solely on the person trying rather than the school itself.
