Did you know that what you get depends on who you are? It is true. Females get different things than males, and the lower classes get different things than the upper classes. No where is this more evident than in the education you get. Working class, professional, or ruling class, it’s not who you know but who your parents are (i.e. their social class) that makes all the difference.

  1. I think it's interesting in just how different schools in different econimic classes are. It's surprising just how the schools are different, not in just resources but in how everything is taught; it didn't really occur to me that it would be so different, not in just resources.

  2. i think it is really surprising on how schools are different. Teachers have so many things to teach kids but there is just so many different ways of doing things. it really surprises me in how one school it could be taught and be easy and then go to a diffent school and learn about the same thing that it could be taught way different to make it way harder..

  3. I think it's a good idea when schools pick a couple of students to go to other schools because than you get to see the difference in school for classes. & it's quiet different how teachers preach their stuff.
