Module Four Part IV

 This last part of the book shows how segregation, inequality, and lack of resources can significantly affect young people. Youth are the most affected because they are not obtaining the necessary resources to achieve success. Although many see it as a business (creating schools only to prepare future workers), education is more than that, it is preparing students for real life but to make their own decisions about what their contribution will be. to the society in which they live. The creation of different schools, with different educational and management systems, became beneficial for thousands of people because they offered them options that were related to their preferences and needs, while others considered that this change only managed to worsen what was already damaged, in the sense that everyone preferred to go to the best schools even if they went into debt and thus the government's money would be directed to these schools, while the most needy ones did not receive help because they did not have the required number of students. This could have been a good thing but depending on each person's point of view and their social and economic condition. I believe that education should be based on the needs of each individual, without preferences and without distinction, that all schools receive the necessary funds to support their students, and that parents make more efforts every day so that their children have a Brilliant Future.

Our world and our community are damaged, no matter how hard we try to improve our educational system, there will always be people who only seek their own benefit, people who do not accept that there are different cultures and that all are welcome, people who do not give them the opportunity for new generations to demonstrate their capabilities or grow as human beings.

    This picture displays protestors calling for equality. Section Five of "School: The Story of American Public Education'' discussed the problems of equity and segregation in the educational system. Cuban talks about the history of racial segregation in schools, focusing on the Civil Rights Movement and the famous Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education. He looks at the persistent difficulties in establishing true equality in education, pointing out that racial and socioeconomic inequalities still exist in many public schools in the nation despite legislative successes. Cuban stresses the significance of resolving these differences and advancing the cause of a more egalitarian and inclusive educational system. He states, "Reformers have long sought to improve schooling for minorities and the poor, but the entrenched power of the middle class, and the deeply ingrained social and cultural beliefs about race, ethnicity, and poverty have blocked their efforts" (Cuban, 2017, p. 2). Cuban emphasizes the difficulties of attaining full equality in education and the continual fight to remove obstacles that uphold injustice and division through his perspective.
