    1. There is a big difference between a culture that encourages engagement with the world and one that encourages developing one’s own superiority.

      I feel that this here is the problem in general with not only our educational system in America, but with our country as a whole. Instead of including and embracing all minds and people, the 1% is entitled to superiority while the rest of the 99% struggle to stay afloat and be moderately successful. I find this to be the disadvantage of all people. The most deserving and amazing students and minds will never get a chance they may deserve. It is discouraging as a whole, and very strategically unfair. I feel that the 1% should give back or pay it forward. Their immense fortunes should be funding education funds to low income schools and even community rebuilding projects. If the rich 1% gave back, maybe there could be a leveling out of low income crisis this country suffers from. As educators we should advocate for our students by demanding equal opportunities, and searching for any chance to help our students take advantage of the services that are available to them..
