I truly wonder what are the different ways to approach teaching such that it accommodates to everyone idiosyncrasies. At the end of the day we are only human with our small kinks and faults, mood swings and tendencies in all so how does one teacher in a class of 30 student or so accommodate? Personally I find it best when I am taught one on one because the class and teaching style is eventually just catered towards how you best learned however this is an unrealistic solution for all.

I am a firm believer that America's system is plagued with deeply rooted systematic racism and inequality because our history is laced with these two issues. However the basis and the same system that was used centuries ago are still being used today, to reiterate, the same systems that still have some injustice intertwined with it are used today. Yes, there have been edits to them to make them more equal but at the end of the day there are so many variables that have inequality attached to them that aid in the processes that contribute the inequality we see today.

I love this sentence because it really highlights the significance and impact of being born into wealth because it does truly help individuals in the long run; a lot more than people think. Especially it being a lot harder to acquire homes with predatory lenders trapping people in questionable contacts to pay their housing mortgages which helps families into good schooling districts.

I would like to emphasize the word affordability because in my experience and observations this has been a main factor in where people decide to go to school and many times it is the number one factor. Tuition has been skyrocketing over the years into excessive rates and I know recently USC has increased their tuition by 5% and cut some academic scholarships which caused a lot of trouble for student. Many of them are facing a situation of transferring schools or being met with loads of debt because they were relying on scholarships.

Although I understand and see their point of view I believe that are other circumstances that are preventing people from "lifting themselves" out of poverty. I wish I could say it was this easy to simply rise up in the wealth ladder but there are a multitude of obstacles low income and minorities have to overcome and go thought in order to make the same amount as other individuals do. There are a lot of systematic issues that are deeply rooted into the system simply because our history is intertwined with racism and injustice. For example, red lining was abolished so long ago yet we still see remains of this in the current housing we see today. Even though it is not defined by the government it is loosely still there and unfortunately there are certain systems such as the credit system that still use zip codes when trying to issue credit cards and loans which sometimes negatively affects individuals.

As much as I want to agree that education is going to be or should be the great equalizer there is so many systematic injustices and inequalities that inhibit individuals from receiving proper education as well as surviving the systematic injustices imbedded into the corporate system. Those who are born into generational wealth have the upper hand on so many playing fields from networking connections to knowledge passed down to simply the funds. I say simply but money can truly solve a lot of issues, in this case these funds can be used towards high quality tutors to help aid children into getting into prestigious colleges or to just pay and afford for good college because many low income families do not have that luxury without being met with loads of debt. Education can help equalize the wealth disparity but that comes with allowing for equal and fair access to all types of educations.

I absolutely love and agree with this quote and I think this is a perfect segue into this particular reading. I not only agree that it is a great national opportunity but also responsibility and duty to ensure each child is taught to meet and overcome difficult standards and situations. America is known to be a melting pot of culture and ethnicities and the way it has acquired this nickname is by the multitude of immigrants who saw the opportunities offered and decided to put their faith and expectation to this country. Thus these hard working individuals work hard to help shape this country into what we know today. Consequently the country and specifically the government now has a responsibility (and opportunity) to pay it forwards and help future generations.
