Just Average?


I believe that Kahn thoughts on the school system being alter to just allow students to reach average status is true. Even though I agree, I believe that the ultimate outcome is in the hands of the individual. When people come from a higher social status they are presented with numerous opportunities and are projected to receive better paying jobs. These opportunities not present in the lower classes, which causes more pressure and a higher level of difficulty to improve social rankings. Even though these are factors I believe that effort and level of determination will decide if goals are achieved. To help this inequality in the school system I think programs focused on increasing students chances of competing in the school system. Scholarship funding, extra tutoring/lecturing, workshops that stress the importance of managing work and time, and teachings exposing the truth behind school systems should be taught in these programs.
