The topic sentence that stood out to me the most was, "the teachers aren't motivated to teach the poor students properly," because I feel like a teacher should not base if their going to really try and push students based on where they come from and how they live. Teacher don't try motivating those students because they feel as if they will get no where no matter what, but who are they to determine that? Every child should get the same opportunity in education. Wealthy or poor, white or black, it does not matter. A teacher should give them all equal support to whatever dreams they have, even if they seem impossible. In Savage Inequalities the author Jonathan Kozol writes, "A child is not born to the station of its parents, but with an indefinite claim to all the prizes that can be won by thought and labor. It is in conformity with the theory of equality ... to give as near possible to every youth an equal state in life." (101) which supports the idea of equality and fairness to every child regardless of everything else. Yet teachers dont bother trying, they give poor kids no options in life.
