This text made me think about things deeper than I did before. The teacher realizing here that many of her students did not attend community college or any college at all gave her a deep sense of frustration. From her experience, many kids were already uninterested in learning, but many times it seems as if they were set up that way, and the system failed them. This reminds me that many times the way the educational system is not fair; what may seem fair and achievable for some may not for others, which is the most upsetting part to me. Relating to one of our first texts, this reminds me of how school is supposed to be an equalizer for all people, but it seems like it actually does the opposite.

When the teacher realizes all of the educational justices, it reminds me of when I was young and my mom was a high school teacher in Detroit, Michigan. Detroit is a very diverse area with low income. She was furious with the injustices of the school system, and I was exposed to much of the truth at a young age. I was still very young at this time, and fortunate enough to go to a private school at this time, but I felt for these kids.
