Same Cheating Teachers, New Defense (Ashton Garcia, 2nd)

The case of the cheating teachers has reached something interesting... People think that taking these teachers away could decrease help for students (obviously), and will hurt them more. They need teachers. Something more interesting was addressed: the teachers cheated because the students have been cheated for years upon years before.
The ratings for poor, publics school are low, while middle class and wealthier, schools (with a high population of white students) earn better grades. The teachers have defended themselves by saying that they have been cheated on so much already, and that they are giving hope, and helping the students overall being.

It is extremely evident that wealthier schools with a high population of white people have better ratings and higher grades than poor schools. This continues as ongoing concern of racism, and better treatment of the middle and high class. White students who are middle or high class are not only treated very well by police, but are also more privileged when it comes to education and the funds for it. Although education amongst all races has gotten so much better and more equal, it's still not actually equal, and still stereotyped and a bit prejudice.

  1. I agree. I don't think it's fair and I feel like we should all get the same type of education because after all, we are all equal.

  2. This leads to the argument of whether grades should classify a student. To get good grades in school, one must be excellent in following teachers' instructions. However, if the teacher is not good, that means that their education will be bad.
