Reforming the quality of education in the United States of America is possible. Across the country public schools vary from one another because each of the fifty states can design them however they would like to do so. Creating problems as a whole because policies differ from one another because the constitution has no say on how Public School Systems should be performed. Even if a state would like to reconstruct how it wanted to be run it does not correlate with the insufficient funds that are being provided. This is the struggle of attending public schools in the inner-city.
With this issue of quality education students that are considered low performing will be now placed into a higher performing school. So why even move them in the first place if they are unable to adapt to these “higher” levels of education. It is seen, as they will be receiving a well-rounded education. Yet, It is proven it backfires because research has proved that of those low performing students 42% still remained performing under what is considered academic achievement attending those new “higher” educated schools.
This seems to me rather more of an experiment to see if in fact if you take the inner city students who already seen as low performing that can just shape up if moved into a new setting. The students are already being cheated out from the start. Inner city schools already lack resources needed to help make students successful. If we are setting up students to struggle then you’re basically setting them up to fail. CEO of Chicago Public School Barbra Byrd Bennett begs to differ with stating “we share responsibility to ensure a bright future for every child” if the CEO over a Large inner city schooling system believes that the board is ensuring students have a bright future then why is many of those schools within the district are going without. It just is a repeating cycle with the same results, that lawsuits angled it as the leadership is committed to a status quo. In other words even the leaders who have power over our education are not making any effort to showcase what they have done positively for our schools. Charter schools may have set some students up for success but the statistics show that they are not the solution to this problem this is rather an inequality based on being located in the inner city.
. Urban area schools already have a bad hype because of simply where it is. You hear the phrase those inner city kids but no where do you hear those inner city students. As a student attending an inner city public school I believe there is already an assumption on actually how well we can perform. This being said, making this a problem because no one will want to fund a dysfunctional place that provides “free” education if no one wants it. Deeming to close down the unsuccessful schools and trying to fix it. By taking this hands on the United States believe addressing the problem is transforming a public school into a charter school. In the same way it defeats the purpose of actually solving the problem from the start. Rather than giving the school the proper assistance it needs to turn around they are being shut down because they are being pushed to the side because it seen as a problematic school. According to National Center for Education Statistics in the 2010-2011 school year alone 1,929 schools have been shut down due to be seen as a low performing school.10 I can guarantee that this number has not decreased but rather has risen. So what I have concluded from this one stat that the U.S believes it is okay to shut down a Public school because of performance this contradicts the purpose of having to rebuild or transform into charter schools. Rather than tackling on the issue of where it starts them rather start over then start at the base of the issue.
