I fully agree with this, it is important to keep the kids engaged when i feel like what i am saying in class is being heard and welcomed it makes class more enjoyable and not something i just have to go too.

This is a very harsh but true topic. Young black men were not treated the way they should have. It shows how far we have come as a whole, things are nowhere near the way they were.
Despite
Last quarter i realized this and we talked about it in our class. It is extremely hard to please everyone, there is always going to be someone who isn't pleased. This paragraph is saying that classrooms don't do a good enough job of making everyone feel included, which instead of just talking about it they should find ways to solve that problem.
Thankfully
I fully agree with this sentence. Students with more wealth have more access to resources that students with a lower income. Students with wealthy parents can go to school and get everything paid for by there parents and continue to succeed. while students with a lower income don't have the money to pay through schooling, that is why the government made programs for students like this.
Inequality starts way before a kid is even in school. it talks about how the lack of access to health care, stable jobs, and support systems that support women not only for them but for the development of there children.

This paragraph talks about the relationship between housing, wealth, and education opportunity in the U.S. It also talks about how public schools funding is based on property values, students test scores to their parents income and neighborhood wealth.

I agree with this paragraph i feel like it helps start potential generational wealth. By having a house it can be passed down to younger generations in the family line. But also i feel like this paragraph does not go with the topic of education inequality.
Whether
This paragraph talks about how we use education as a social justice tool. It also talks about a horace mann who thought if everyone had the same education that would solve social problems. I feel like i fully agree with what was said.
Whether inspired by Mann's plea to elevate the masses to higher moral and financial ground via schooling, or other notions of social justice, even now Europeans refer to publicly funded education as "the social elevator" (Lopez-Fogues, 2011). As Mann originally conceived the function of public education, there was overt recognition that something in society was amiss, and that "something" could be effectively redressed by offering public education to all-not just some. The same "something" that Mann was acutely aware of and deeply troubled by was and is the gross and growing disparities among the social classes. We continue to need methods for shrinking overwhelming and widen-ing class divides. Many of us choose to address the equity gap by struggling to supply universal access to high-quality, free, and appropriate public education. Nearly two centuries later, "the great equalizer" cannot equalize soon enough
The very last sentence of this paragraph is connected in todays society still. " many of us choose to address the equity gap by struggling to supply etc...". This is still shown in many ways in our society today.

This paragraph talks about the conflict between individual interest and the good in the education policies. Even when people say they support equal education for every child, they prioritize there childs success rather than others.
Sustained and serious disagreements over education policy can never be completely resolved because they spring from a fundamental paradox at the heart of the American dream. Most Americans believe that everyone has the right to pursue success but that only some deserve to win, based on their tal-ent, effort, or ambition. The American dream is egalitarian at the starting point in the "race of life," but not at the end. That is not the paradox; it is simply an ideological choice. The paradox stems from the fact that the success of one generation depends at least partly on the success of their parents or guardians. People who succeed get to keep the fruits of their labor and use them as they see fit; if they buy a home in a place where the schools are better, or use their superior resources to make the schools in their neighborhood better, their chil-dren will have a head start and other children will fall behind through no fault of their own. The paradox lies in the fact that schools are supposed to equal-ize opportunities across generations and to create democratic citizens out of each generation, but people naturally wish to give their own children an ad-vantage in attaining wealth or power, and some can do it. When they do, every-one does not start equally, politically or economically. This circle cannot be squared
This paragraph highlights the contradiction in the american dream, talking about education and inequality. it explains that while americans value equal opportunity, success is often inherited rather than earned. How wealth and privilege allow some families to give there kids some educational advantages. Like better schools and more resources than other kids.
Despite
To me this paragraph highlights the main role of education in american role and identity. Education is often seen as a clear road to success but others see it with a different perspective.
