Education And Human Rights
I feel that private education violates human rights. For example, it restricts essential resources to just those that can afford to pay for them, when in fact; those resources should be made available to every single student, regardless of economic status. When these resources are denied to a student, that student falls behind others that do receive those resources, and this creates a never-ending cycle that ultimately results in a person receiving a lesser-quality education every step of the way. This can, and most likely will, affect the jobs that are available to them upon entry to the work force. Furthermore, as hard as companies try to convince us that they are equal opportunity employers, no company would hire someone with less education over someone with more education. And the people with more education are invariably those who received those same essential resources at the beginning of their academic journey - students who attended private schooling. The blame should not be placed on the companies, who simply want the best available talent, but on the school system itself, whose distribution system for the aforementioned resources is unfairly skewed towards anyone that can afford to pay for them.
Another negative result of what I like to call "educational discrimination" is that students who attend private schools are not only provided with a higher-quality education, but they also are usually taught other skills, such as social etiquette. It is an unfortunate, yet commonplace, occurrence that often results in a disadvantageous cycle. For example, to acquire a well-paying job, you need to possess a certain level of education. However, to get that education, you need a job already. It is reminiscent of the "chicken and egg" syndrome in that you cannot get one without the other. Another negative effect of the aforementioned cycle is that someone who only received public education may suffer from low self-esteem since they may possibly be criticized for something beyond their control. For example, a boss might make a remark that "I'll have John do it, he went to a real school." If a person hears that enough, they might stop believing in themselves, when, in fact, they might be better suited for that job then John was. dvantage of not receiving private education is that those who do are seen as smarter and better learners then those who don't. However, some of the best students have come from normal public schools. The problem stems from the stereotype of private education. The stereotype is that everyone who attends a public school is less qualified then those who received pri
