Social injustices are recognized through capitalism by the fact that gods and items needed to sustain a better quality of living is determined by one's monetary status in society, which by the way is also affords certain racial species the ability to obtain these allowing certain beings privilege's while at the same time disallowing others. Capitalism also sets unspoken rules and guidelines to such a high degree that person's of a lesser income bracket will not be able to "enjoy the spoils". Because of certain stereotype rhetoric, ones social status can be a hinder and shaped to not be able to obtain the capitalistic success as some one else, ultimately placing them into a perceived lower status.

Social class injustices in education engineered by capitalism are driven by the classification of income and race. In the article "Social Class and School Knowledge", it explains how school systems in New Jersey, differentiated not only by race but the income level based on the parent work history. This is to show how much control a race has in a school because of the income, showing children at a young age what kind of privilege they have over one another. In the article "How School Lunch Debt Creates Shame and Inequality-and Our fight to Abolish It", it really singles out children who come from a low income family by giving them debt cards to use for lunch food and if the amount on the card is not enough they are single out and have to report to the manger to see if they can receive lunch. This is really creating a social class injustices for children to see at a young age.

Social Class injustices in education is powered by capitalism by dividing each class on a spectrum, it sets different class to fiend of themselves. basically it shows how the poor stay poor while the rich stay rich off from poor economy.

Social class injustices within education occurs when education within a neighborhood with a lower income educates students with that budget. Education is not equal, compared to a neighborhood with a higher income, you will see that they have access to higher quality equipment, larger buildings/classrooms, up-to-date technology like computers, monitors, smartboards etc., and a more quality education. Lower income neighborhoods can be seen having the opposite. Most of the resources they receive are second-rate, the curriculum is shown to be lacking in quality, in some cases classrooms are either combined/cramped in order to meet the lowest standards of education. In a higher income neighborhood, students can be seen having quality meals, where they are both nutritious and healthy for the student body. In the article, "School Lunch Debt Creates Shame and Inequality- and Our fight to Abolish it," it shows students being shamed for not being able to afford school lunches, where they are subjected to shame of seeing if they can even have school lunches. Capitalism has shown that if you're not born into money, then you will remain in the same class as your parents. Money is the key differentiating factor of whether you will have a good education/future. That is the Capitalist way.

I have had the pleasure to watch afilm on this very exact question on How is Social Class Injustice Engineered by Capitalism and why? In Baton Rouge Louisiana and a Parish called St. George that was a rich integrated school system that wanted to separate or rather de-segregate the school's parish as well as move 73% of its white population to a whole new and total new wealthy suburb. And this had been based on the fact that schools had not proven to show results that Brown vs the Board of Education meant to prove by schools and integrated busing of lower income kids. To those who held capitalist powers formed a committee to separate from the whole parish stating reasons to be able to establish areas that would correct the decline of what they felt integrated education had brought. The powers that would claim they are not segregationist. Nor claim to be racist; just citizens who can create a new and separate school district and area bared of colored integration. And if this is not a blatant showing of what class capitalism and injustice may cause I'm sure it will set us far off track as an American Society. The Incorporation of a new City of ST. George was met by a Black Mayor and others as being a split from the Union in some sort to want to establish a new wealth and school district and moved 70% of all white wealth and privilege with them. Which would leave a district of poor under privilege children of color deprived of equal education and opportunities.

In a capitalist society, where money and wealth play a big role, education can be unfair. People with more money can get better education, while those with less money struggle to access good schools. This happens because capitalism benefits from this inequality. It keeps the rich people rich and powerful, and the rest of us in a tough spot. This unequal education helps capitalism stay strong. It's like a way to keep rich people at the top and everyone else below. This isn't fair, and bell hooks probably talks about this in her essay, showing how the system is set up this way to help capitalism.

Capitalism is the economic system that the US operates under. However it has implications in social engineering, particularly in education. Capitalism promotes one's agency and ignores the system's barriers that are created by capitalism itself. The way it creates injustices in education is because the schools that serve students that come from families of a higher social or financial class have more resources and opportunities for the kids to excel. Although this does not eliminate the chances of social mobility for the kids in undeserved communities, it makes the likelihood of it more difficult. This continues the cycle of injustice as minorities are constantly behind in the "race" and void of position of powers in large numbers. Capitalism makes us feel as if doing well in education is the only way to attain a job and make money and that that is the most important thing in life. However if the student coming from the poor neighborhood never had a chance to go to a school and receive a good education is essentially set up to fail from the start. In the article "Finding or Losing Yourself" the author mentions how the class you are apart is still used as a predictor for academic success. This is a system engineered by capitalism to make sure the rich get rich and the poor stay poor and maintain the division of social classes.

Social class injustices in education are engineered by capitalism because like many other things, money runs many systems in our society and education is one of them. In our reading Social Class and school knowledge by Jean Anyon, we get to take a look at how social classes affects the education that students are getting. In the reading we see how students of different social backgrounds are exposed to different types of educational knowledge. Students of higher class will learn legal, medical or managerial knowledge. while students of lower working class will learn about "practical" curriculum. They will learn things about lower careers not higher educational ones like the higher-class students will learn. Instead of teaching these lower-class students how to be socially mobile, they teach it to the kids who are already in a higher position. This creates an unequal class structure.

In the "Coming to Class Consciousness" reading by Bell Hooks we see how choices that we make are based on a capitalist society. In the reading we see what is like to put your desires aside and be comfortable with what you already have. You had to make do with what you had and with this comes a sort of rage. A rage that lets you know that you won't fit in because you don't have the same social standing as others based on your social status and class. Not going to a college that you wanted to go to because you or your family don't have the money. Social injustice in education will always be engineered by capitalism and a capitalist society.

Social class injustices in education are engineered by capitalism. Based on if students come from a working class background, upper or middle class background, this can play a role in their academic success. Those that come from the upper class have better access to resources. Those in higher classes are more likely to have the means to attend prestigious schools and therefore are more than likely to receive higher education. They live in areas where the school taxes are extremely high but its worth it because their child has access to new and improved resources, they have more than qualified teachers, and their experience in school as well as student treatment is over the top. As far as students that come from a lower class background unfortunately don't get to experience the same treatment as those in higher classes. They aren't afforded the new resources in most cases. They are held to lower standards because they are of a lower income background. Even to where students have recess at, plays a role in how social class injustices in education are engineered by capitalism. Those that are in the lower class, most schools don't have playgrounds for students to have recess. The students are playing in parking lots while those in upper class have 1-3 playgrounds on the school property.

Social class injustices in education to me mostly hit the people that come from poverty base economic places. They are mostly minority decent in minority community base areas. I think capitalism part of it just happens because of people's circumstances. That you become a product of your environment. You just continue doing what your taught, from generation to generation. If you're not born from nothing and not shown how to get out your society status, you have already been counted out. You basically have to be in an upper-class society with money. As far as education when you from a certain class, the system tends to give inequitable distributions of resource such as money, funding course, sports or different types of educational programs for the lower-class populations.

Social class injustices in education are engineered by capitalism because the children of the lower class families are often in schools that are taught in a way that grooms them to be sheep or clogs in a machine. Students who come from higher-income families often attend schools that give them the idea that they are capable of achieving more and give them free-range thinking. In doing this there is the attempt to keep the structure of society how it is, allowing the same generations of people to stay in power while the same generations of people work for them until they die. It is very twisted how early on it starts for America to show people how much they truly mean to society and how much they care about their overall well-being and livelihood.

Capitalism is a manipulative strategy implemented by politicians to transcend social injustice. Jean Anyon’s research analysis, “Hidden Curriculum,” reveals a consciousness of class and education. She observed four different classrooms in diverse neighborhoods. The foundation of an institution’s coursework is dependent on its area. Education is a source for socialization to produce active agents of society. Therefore, in marginalized communities, the curriculum mutates students to be factory workers. A traditional classroom would enforce robotic activities. The teacher introduces a concept, student follows. There is no room for challenging ideas. However, in affluent communities, the academic atmosphere is distinctive. The syllabus pursues individualized learning, creativity, and analytical thinking to foster executives. Streams of capitalism are present. Firstly, the funding of the school dictates the information students will learn. Secondly, the curriculum serves as a tool to design participants of hierarchy. Everything falls under a profit based perspective. These conclusions are parallel to Marx’s idea of conflict theory. Social order is conserved through levels of power. Individuals who hold more power are in affluent communities. Those in the lower class, have little to no power.

We see social class injustices in education in NYC. We see schools in higher income neighborhoods have more resources than schools in lower income neighborhoods. We have structured the funding of schools through government taxes, meaning if a school is located in a neighborhood that doesn't generate a lot of taxes, the school will have less funding. The people affected by social injustices in schools through capitalism are often people of color, as they are usually the ones living in low income communities.

Social injustices in education go more towards "capatalism" the reason why I say this is because money is controlled in such forms and how our education can be controlled by it. Low income neighborhoods do not have the best district schools because the government does not focus on children from such low income areas. A few make it out of poverty while other students continue the cycle of staying within their needs.

Students who then come from "elite" schools have a higher chance of better opportunities because their families have connections and the schools they are in provide the adequate education to continue being in schools that meet their needs.

What is the community that is mostly affected with in the social injustices within the capitalistic realty ? Those students of color. As they are the ones that are predominately in low income neighborhoods.

Social class injustices effect kids in school in many different way. People from working-class background are more likely to achieve lower paying jobs then middle-class background kids. For example families who have low-income are more likely to not be able to afford school material items or proper food, clothes and educational resources. That can effect the way student learn, based on different factors like living situation and family problems. This can add up and then effect a kids performance at school work and homework, and they put into wrong classrooms and have resource taken away from him, like extra help or a more advanced classroom.

In the education system, social class plays a major role and it is geared by capitalism. Throughout the education we see the division of education based on income. In NYC, social class plays a role in how students receive their education, where they receive their education and the expectation of their education. Students who are considered of a lower social class due to income usually receive their education amongst other students experiences the same life hardships. They are limited with resources and their education isn't as valued as much as a student with an upper social class. Capitalism plays it's role because due to income and status students in an upper class are granted the opportunity to receive an education that is taken seriously and have access to all resources needed to be successful in life. Students with lower social classes have to work harder and make sacrifices to have a more successful life.

The article “How School Lunch Debt Creates Shame and Inequality” suggests that school lunch debt is a perpetuator of shame and inequality, thus exposing the social engineering built in capitalism. It disproportionately disadvantages working-class families and families of color, who are burdened with debts for failing to afford school lunches. Many struggling families are excluded because of lining up for free or reduced lunches. The passage calls for universal free school meals, suggesting that school lunches are not a privilege but a right to be enjoyed by all. The author indicates how lunch debts reduce students’ welfare, leading to disciplinary and educational concerns. Debt morality is given attention in this passage where “lunch shaming” becomes an example of such judgmental behavior that denies learners rights. One case in point is when the Bucks Cancel Lunch Debt Coalition successfully campaigned for the elimination of debt related to lunch at Bristol Borough School District, thereby illustrating the power of collective action towards systemic problems existing within education.
