Inequality in Chicago schools
Over the last years technology has developed greatly. This is a positive as well as a negative for our youth. Due to the development of technology many corporations have begun to incorporate certain technology requirements for employment. What occurs when public schools do not have the funds to update their technology? The youth attending these low funded schools are no longer qualified for these jobs. Unfortunately this youth is left at a disadvantage. This was a very interesting concept to reflect on, that was provided by "How Public Schools Can Fight Back Against Inequality".
The article also brought up another interesting point of how they manage to concentrate the poor students with the poor and the rich students with the rich, leading to education inequality. We see this in action with the closure of many city schools and or their conversion to charter schools as discussed in our cities projects.
