To understand how education can be part of the solution, we need to look at how both families and schools have played a role in the gap between the educational outcomes of wealthy and low-income children.

Every time I see a graph and read about it in the section below, it makes me wonder. How would this graph look like today Would it grow? Would it shirk? Would the graph have a negative impact or a positive impact on the low-income community?

As I am reading it bothers me the way that when a person tries to accomplish something or make their dream come true. They always move the finish line to make them work harder. There are times when they add requirements that the person doesn't have.

While I was reading this text it made me think was there a race that had higher high school graduates? If so, what race? Why specifically that race?

This reading makes me think, was it difficult to attend college? What did the collage application process look like? Was there many majors to choose from? Or was there a specific major that the student had chosen?

How would the introduction of the book loo if it was written in 2024? Would there still be the same problems.? What polices and resources would be mentioned?

Many people who work bad-quality jobs should also have the opportunity to receive an education and work in something they are passionate about. They should be able to strive for their goals and not live day by day.

The passage also says that out that people living in this level of poverty have to come up with ways to survive that pull them into difficult situations, sometimes involving exploitation or illegal activities. At the community level, these survival strategies can turn the usual sense of right and wrong on its head.

Companies and industries should consider paying household members more because they have families to feed, and because of the little help that the government gives to it's people, they should be receiving money.

The region was once reliant on Black labor to grow and harvest cotton, a crop that brought in great profits. Today, however, the economy has shifted to large-scale farming of crops like corn and soybeans, which provide very few jobs for local residents.

Now, here is another problem. When the job of a person who is low-income collapses (as we see in this section of the reading), the job that collapses does not offer help to find a job for their employees .

The government needs to place an effort on understanding the financial struggles of the people in this country. Having understanding the financial struggles, they would be more wise to act on how they can distribute the money they receive.

This is another situation that happens in America. Even though America is one of the richest countries in the world, there are sill people here who have to eat the same cheap meal everyday or simply do not have enough money to afford to make a meal.

This is, unfortunately, the reality for many people in America, having to accept the first job they are accepted to. Even if it is a low-paying job or if it is a job that is very harmful and tiring.

This section reminds me of the time where my mother told me that the program WIC was the only resource that was putting food on the table. I remember entering the office of WIC as a kid accompanying my mom and my new born baby sister.

Reading this section of the reading makes me wonder what the statistics would look like now. Are low-income students getting into colleges that they need?

This annotation ties into my previous annotation. I'm very curious to know what did college look like back then. What help was being offered back then, for low-income, minority students?

Looking at this graph makes me wonder, How would today's graph look like? Would it increase or decrease?

I am very curious to know what strategy did schools take back then to help students go to college. What was the process the students had to take to apply? Was it offered in every school? What did it look like? How did college applications work back then? What were colleges looking for when accepting students?

I agree that every person in America, a citizen or not, has the opportunity to attend a school and receive an education. However, some schools have poor-quality education. The schools depend on the neighborhood tax income to be able to pay for what they need. A school in a wealthy area will have a good income. However, a school in a low-income neighborhood will receive little income. So I believe that America should work on making every school a good quality school.

It’s the first study with enough data to do this kind of comparison, and it offers strong evidence about the factors that influence people’s chances of moving beyond the economic status they were born into. Some of the key factors include education, family structure, and the economic setup of the cities people live in.

This part of the reaiding racial disparities in housing opportunities in the mid-20th century. White Americans had the privilege of choosing where to live. At the same time, Black Americans were restricted by racial covenants—legal agreements that prevented the sale of property to non-white buyers—and racist realtors, limiting their housing options to industrial suburbs like Ferguson, located on the north side of the city.

This text talked about the issues of housing, education, and municipal financing are interconnected and that the systemic failures that led to Michael Brown’s death began long before his interaction with the police, including the inequities in his schooling and environment.

The phrase “not where smog and uglies lurk” suggests that other suburban areas, such as Ferguson, might be associated with factories, blue-collar work, and environmental degradation, further implying that Irvine represents a more desirable, elite alternative. The language reflects the socio-economic and racial divides that often separated white-collar, planned communities from more industrialized, working-class ones.

Reading this last section of the reading, it makes me wonder. How did the schools that Latino and other catagories turned out? Did they shut down? Was there a low number of students? Did they take a ction on bettering thier schools? What hapened to the teachers?

Was NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) a large group of people? Were they only located in Los Angeles? If not, where were they located? If they were in other cities, did the other cities take the same action to send a message to schools about segragation?

Reading this paragraph made me wonder. When the families moved away from Los Angeles, was the main reason the families were moving because of overcrowding schools? Was it because they permitted Latinos and other categories to attend the schools?

This reminded me of the video that we watched in class, where a family fought for diversity in schools and the right for Latinos and other categories to attend "white" schools. I remember towards the end of the video, there was a woman who was one of the first students to attend "white" schools, and she talked about an experience that she had when she started to attend the school where a boy approached her and told her how they don't want Mexicans here.

Overcrowding was something that many people feared; it is understandable now that Latino and Black Students can attend better schools. However, I believe that there are measures that schools can take to avoid overcrowding. A solution can be to add more desks and chairs into classrooms. Having a limit on how many students they can take in and attend schools.

In the reading, it mentions who are the Brown Berets. They are a group that fought for Chicano rights they fought for many things, such as police brutality, war, and U.S. imperialism, while fighting for education, workers' rights, and health care. I live in Barrio Logan across the street from Chicano Park. I still see the Brown Berets in their uniform during Chicano Park day and during Christmas, they receive toy donations to give to the children of the neighborhood. They always are there to help and protect the Chicano people. It is very nice to continue seeing them representing and continue to fight for what they fought for in the past.l

I want to add that I believe schools should give opportunities to their students to explore different careers. This can be seen by offering them internship opportunities in their High School Career, therefore they can have that motivation to attend collage and they can have a goal on what to major in and how to reach it.
