The fact that my parents never came to school functions only exacerbated the situation.

    1. Nevertheless, this American dream is surpris-ingly close to what most Americans have believed through most of recent Amer-ican history.

      Optimism and aspirations were stronger than ever. According to the US Interagency Council on Homelessness, central economic states such as California, New York, and Washington have seen higher rates of homelessness and unemployment since 2019. In addition, Americans are less likely to land a good job after graduation, which is eroding optimism.

    2. Nevertheless, this American dream is surpris-ingly close to what most Americans have believed through most of recent Amer-ican history.

      A red-necked farm boy from a big farming state who has gone to the top cities and metropolises and transformed through personal struggle from being the good son of an American farmer to a conscientious world-class reporter. This concept also allows many Americans to have a team spirit and awareness, pursue their dreams, and share goals and values ​​to realize their own values. It brought a lot of hope and ideological frameworks to Americans.

    3. From the perspective of the individual, the ideology is as compelling as it is simple. "I am an American, so I have the freedom and opportunity to make whatever I want of my life. I can succeed by working hard and using my tal-ents; if I fail, it will be my own fault.

      This quote shows the importance of education throughout history. High standards must be provided to provide all students with a suitable school environment and the resources they need to learn. However, even now, we can see that there are students whose education is very different from that of low-income areas, and there are students who are not. Knowing how important education is for our future generations, why hasn't this issue been resolved yet?

    4. Most Americans believe that everyone has the right to pursue success but that only some deserve to win, based on their tal-ent, effort, or ambition. The American dream is egalitarian at the starting point in the "race of life," but not at the end. That is not the paradox; it is simply an ideological choice.

      I think this view can and sometimes is abused. For example, someone may be doing their best but are unable to achieve/achieve their dreams due to restrictions beyond their reach. Some people think Think positive action when it comes to college admissions.

    5. From the perspective of the individual, the ideology is as compelling as it is simple. "I am an American, so I have the freedom and opportunity to make whatever I want of my life. I can succeed by working hard and using my tal-ents; if I fail, it will be my own fault. Success is honorable, and failure is not. In order to make sure that my children and grandchildren have the same free-dom and opportunities that I do, I have a responsibility to be a good citizen-to respect those whose vision of success is different from my own, to help make sure that everyone has an equal chance to succeed, to participate in the dem-ocratic process, and to teach my children to be proud of this country."

      I think this statement shows that in a democratic country people care about each other and try to help each other. However, this statement does not. If you just respect people whose visions of success differ from yours, you won't have co-workers doing the same job as you. Seeing their hard work, I realized that success is more important than failure. So I did whatever it took to get good grades in school. Because that was the only way I could show my gratitude to them. They have never failed in my eyes, so I didn't want to fail in school work either.

Knowing how important education is for our future generations, why hasn't this issue been resolved yet?

    1. Hence, educators are poorly prepared when we actually confront diversity.

    2. Tbe sbaring of ideas and information does not always progress as quickly as it may in more bomogeneous settings. Often, professors and students bave to learn to accept different ways ofknowing, new epistemologies, in the multicultural setting

      As a black college student, I often felt this way as I grew up.As I got older, I became more comfortable speaking regardless of the environment I was in, but it wasn't always easy. Perhaps that is why multicultural education is so important for everyone. It helps you feel needed and comfortable even when you're not in your comfort zone.

      Many teachers are reluctant to make changes because they do not know how to make them and cannot consider the consequences of those changes. Will my students like it?

    1. then we will make decisions that dismantle structural barriers to quality public education for all, and we will govern ourselves accordingly

      Public education plays an important role in socialization. Social progress can become a relatively easy goal only when the knowledge level of citizens reaches a certain level. Public education therefore plays an important role not only in the equitable distribution of resources, but also in the progress of society as a whole.

    2. great equalizer but also that children and families who remain poor are to blame for not exploiting such a freely available opportunity to improve their lots.

      It's really amazing that this is actually the statement people are asking for.It's like they're saying the reason they're poor is because they haven't taken the free school to help them.At least that's me is what I got out of it, especially since there may be reasons why a student is unable to go to school or take advantage of school opportunities, and that schools can easily transform a person from poor to non-poor. I don't think Candidates have a free education, but some families are unable to succeed/improve despite having the resources. So instead of thinking about why this is happening and how they can help them, they blame their families.

    3. Many of us choose to address the equity gap by struggling to supply universal access to high-quality, free, and appropriate public education. Nearly two centuries later, "the great equalizer" cannot equalize soon enough.

      It is clear that this equity gap in public education continues to be a problem today, especially for low-income communities. Many saw public education as a temporary solution to this equity gap but overlooked the direct concern that poor students would have access to quality education in return.
