The Worst Things Going On Today Americ The Education Gap...

Cynthia Chambless, a lecturer professor at Bergen Community College, is discussing one of the worst things going on in Modern America: The Education Gap. As much as we like to believe that our current education system is the same everywhere and any student can succeed anywhere, unfortunately, the quality of education differs from each district. Cynthia has found that many students have learned more and better than other students based on how high their social class is. In fact, students from poorer neighborhoods can’t even write properly. This has led to students from poorer neighborhoods not being as prepared for college as students from more upper-class neighborhoods. The further we ignore this issue, the more people are set back from getting their degree and accomplishing their goals. Students need the latest resources to be successful in college and in life. Thus, The Education Gap between the rich and the poor can be solved with more funding to community schools in poor n eighborhoods by the government because low-funding is the primal reason for students being so far behind compared to their higher social class peers. Eduardo Porter said, â€Å"despite the efforts deployed by the American public education system, nine years later the achievement gap, on average, will have widened by somewhere from one-half to two-thirds.† (Eduardo 2015). If we don’t stop this issue, the system will only get worse. Meaning, more students will be behind and not getting the right education
