According to this survey, white children and minorities have
the "same" educational opportunities. Is it really the same educational
opportunities, or is this the idea that society wants everyone to think to say
the education system is good? In my opinion, minorities and whites do not have
the same opportunities, not just in education but also in every aspect of life.
Minorities have to struggle than a white person because they do not have the
same amount of privilege as white people. The reason, in my opinion, of why minority
groups, for example Latinos and blacks, do not have the same rate of success
and whites is that these groups are the "abandoned" ones. Nobody does
anything to provide aid in order for these groups to get a better education. “The
rich get richer, the poor get poorer" - William Harrison. This is very
true because the rich get the same amount of help as the poor, when in reality
more help should go to the poor, because that is where they need it the most! Moreover,
the majority of people that are in those poor communities are minorities (Latinos
and black). Shouldn’t they have more
focus on these groups? , instead of given help to rich communities, which is
something they do not need and are taking away from the poor.

Who is to blame for the bad education system? Parents,
school officials, teachers, government? In my opinion, everyone has some guilt
in making the education what is today. In order to help solve such horrible
education system that exists today, all of these groups of people should work
together. Everything should start at home with parents. Parents should motivate
their children to go to school to get a better education. Parents should show
their children that if they do not get an education they would most likely have
a poor life. They will always need to be working and they will die doing it! Teachers
should have a bond with student, not just sit in a classroom, and read off a textbook,
which is not education and that is not teaching the student anything. Because
the majority of teaches are not motivated with education, they show no need to
change their "teaching" styles. this makes kids feel that they do not
belong in school , if teachers make class interesting , it will make the
student interested in the subject they are learning and thus making school
his/her priority. Students should also SPEAK UP! They should talk to someone if
they do not think they are getting an education, because saying something about
the education you are receiving is the only way you can get a change. You, as a
student, should also judge/evaluate yourself, are you really trying to be successful
in school? Are you doing everything that is in your hands to achieve academic
goals? Etc... Finally, government should provide help (financial) to help make the
education system better, thus making minorities have a better success rate in
their life
