Equal Resources for all Schools

I have noticed a steady trend while taken a glance at the American education system all across the United States. The school system are once again taking care of the haves, while turning their backs on the have not’s. If you take a good look you will see that there is a strong movement of school location inequality in the education system of today. In many of these inner city schools the children are using outdated textbooks, classrooms are overcrowded, and teachers are walking out before the class bell ring. On the other hand, if you venture out of the city into the schools in the suburbs don't get me wrong there are problems but not nearly to the extent of the inner city school. Some might think that this socialistic view but I truly believe, it is the responsibility of the government to step in and ensure that all schools have the same amount of resources to function properly no matter where that school is located. If the funds aren't distributed evenly many of the children in these schools will continue to fail. When these children fail it turns into a domino effect --illiteracy goes up, poverty rises, and the rate of crime skyrocket for the poor. If the government continues to sit back with the legs and arms crossed the rich will continue to get rich and the poor will continue to stay poor; therefore, the gap between the upper class and lower class will never shrink. There are new alternative schools now in play such as private and magnet schools. But there are few minorities especially those that live in the inner city that are able to attend these institutions. Most underprivileged inner city families just don't have the monies to attend private schools. Magnet schools are more diverse, but their normally located in suburban parts of America. If this trend that I see continue to exist these children along with our nation is going to fail.
