Intentional Discrimination in Public Schools

Paper Summary:

In the United States, the public school system is intended to provide comparable degrees of schooling for all students, regardless of the social or the economic backgrounds of the students. However, many sociologists that study the structure of the American public school system find that there is a direct correlation between the social and the economic status of the students in the public school system and the quality of the education provided. This correlation indicates that, while the public education system in the United States is supposed to provide identical educational standards for all students, that those students who are in areas with a higher standard of living will receive a better degree of education. This paper examines the correlation with the intention of demonstrating to the reader that the public education system in the United States provides discriminating education according to social and/or economic conditions for all students.
