Paper Summary:

This paper argues that education disparities are visible through culture, funding, and the status quo. Teacher and resource shortages, decrepit buildings, overcrowding, and an education system that does not help children obtain or keep jobs, are cited as examples of educational disparities. Finally, the paper asserts that these inequalities have caused an even greater gap between the rich and poor in America.

From the Paper:

"The structure of education has changed among time and space. However, education has always suited societal needs, transcending from Christian education in the Middle Ages, to a Renaissance Age focus on art, to the Modern Age focus on technology and science, effectively replacing the arts."
