Today's class discussion ideas...

Why is there such disparity amongst schools in America today? (Why do the different types of schools Anyon describes even exist?):

· We need all types of jobs. Someone has to do the jobs we don’t want.
· Lack of fundingà à low pay for teachersà à lack of motivation for teachersà à poor teaching methods
· Low expectations on part of administrators who make major decisions about the schools and curricula
· Lack of parental involvement
· Fundingè overcrowdingà difficulty controlling studentsè difficulty teaching students
· Parents wanting children to stay in same field or take over family corporations
· Parents wanting students to associate with students from similar backgrounds
