Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the endless cycle of poverty that exists in the Los Angeles inner city and looks at what must be done in order to end this cycle.

From the Paper:

"The Los Angeles inner city is plagued by a cycle of poverty in which people live in utter hopelessness both for themselves and for their children. To truly end this cycle, poor people must be given a way out of this situation. However, a solution will only be effective if people have the skills to support themselves with a decent-paying job. Therefore, the only way to end the cycle of poverty that exists in Los Angeles County is through the school system by creating an education program geared towards preparing students for jobs that are high paying and in high demand. This means making changes that lead toward the ultimate goal of providing a good education, even if these changes are not popular. The only way to succeed at anything is to make a plan and stick with it. With this in mind, those people in charge of low-income schools in Los Angeles should make an exerted effort to infuse these schools with new resources, even if it means diverting a certain amount of those resources from more affluent schools."
