ABSTRACT

"one can make a good guess about a child's standardized test scores simply by
looking at how many degrees her parents have and at what kind of car they drive."

The school system is just as flawed as back-alley boob job. There are a myriad of reasons, behind the scenes, that those to be considered in that target socio-economic demographic can feel, but may not have the facts, or the voice, to bring to the forefront. A 17-year-old Hispanic male from a household that makes less than $30k/year may be a straight A student throughout his high school career. Despite intimidating test scores, and every intangible needed to succeed at an upper-echelon university, he will be subjected to relying on an alternative means for college admittance that is, more than likely, geared toward his ethnicity. Of course, this is just an example, however, it's an all-too-common occurrence.

Based on the abstract, Rebecca Zwick has presented a possible argument to exploit this very problem and bring, another issue in our flawed education system, to the forefront. It will take a serious overhaul in how the school system is run in America. Would it be better to structure a high school curriculum to that of a smaller university with a more interactive approach to teaching. Perhaps that will be able to bring schools in financially underprivileged areas up to par with, say, wealthier schools and school systems.
