Through weeks of learning the problems of Education in United States, it is safe to say that schooling is unequal. What's more important is that Race, Class and even Sexuality are some of the main factors to this.

There are four different types of schools. Working class, The middle-class, Affluent professional schools, and Elite schools. Working class schools did not know anything about their history. They simply did not teach them their own history but rather focused more on the mechanical behaviors. Middle-Class focused on what's right and what's not. Creativity wasn't a factor and work was graded if the solution was correct. Affluent professional schools, unlike working class, was taught their own history. Individualism and personal growth. Lastly, Elite schools focused on students to think on their own. They learn the concepts behind things and not only the process to a solution.

There are several types of debts that affects our education. Them being the historical debt, economic debt, sociopolitical debt, and the moral debt. The historical debt talks about how most students were not comfortable in going into education. During the period of slaves, the African-American people weren't allowed to have an education. This created what we know today as the historical debts. The economic debt is where there is a rise in funding for schools which correlates to the rise in white students attending the schools. Schools with mostly minorities did not receive the same funding as those schools with more white students. The sociopolitical debt is a reflection on the degree to which communities of color are excluded from the civic process. These types of exclusions forced families of color to not be able to choose and vote for what they think is best for their children. The last being the moral debt. These are the reasons why many students were lacking education due to discriminations.

During the discussion, we talk about how segregation, ability class, and family class were all connected in many ways. The students with a wealthy background were known to have the upper hand when it comes to education. The reason being is that they have the better support compared to low income students. Ability tracking is then created as the schools collect students with similar background that leads to segregation being created within these schools. This concludes that tracking did not help but rather create the problem.

Through these readings, we learn that Sexuality is also a cause to unequal education. This topic has not only been an issue in United States but also every student in the world. There are many times where girls are viewed differently from boys. Girls are known to be the smarter, more intelligent ones. This causes girls to not answer things during class as they are afraid of being wrong. Boys tend to be more dominant and have less fear of getting these answers wrong. This leads to the lack of self esteems for girls which can be a cause to unequal education.

Throughout the semester, learning about the problems that exists in education here in United States have made me more aware of what to avoid and what to accomplish when it comes to educating others. I agree that these are all main factors of unequal schooling. What I don't completely agree with is how Peggy describes the struggles that girls go through when it comes to education. I believe that boys also are afraid of being wrong especially in subjects they are struggling with. I myself too avoid answering questions especially in a second language classroom as I am afraid of being wrong. To me, I feel like everyone goes through this and not just specifically girls.
