This picture shows how the poor, minority children are sabotaged and isolated by an unethical educational system. These children are locked into these failing high schools, where huge percentages do not graduate and few are prepared for college. Additionally, these minority kids are faced with overcrowding, inexperienced teachers, and lack of supplies. Being exposed to such an environment, makes it much more difficult for any kid to succeed, let alone learn under these conditions. The problem is the government that won’t take the necessary action to implement an effective program and follow through with the promise of a better education these students.
