Unequal Educaton

Unequal Education is a video about the life of two seventh graders that live in the New York City distric. Although they live in the same distict the two boys have two completly different expernces in their schools. The boys, James and Lonnie, both ar in the same grade but go to different school. James goes to a middle class high school and Lonnie goes to a hgh school in a poor neighborhood. The video showed you how the two schools provided two completley different environments for the kids which has a big effect on them. In the video you could see how Lonnie's science teacher had no ideo what he was doing in his class room and the kid also knew. At James school there was computers and a few good teachers that were incouraging the kids were as Lonnies teacher seemed that he was bringing the kids don and did not believe that they could ever do anything which has a big impact on their mental development and their drive to anything productive in their future. The video turne into a debate on Couchers and publiuc school choice. They talked about the problems that no chld left behind has caused to school disticts. With NCLB it is only helping the rich schools get richer and the poor schools will get poorer. From this video you can clearly see that something has to change about th current situation that American shcools are in.
