In support of his argument, Kozol took a lot of time and effort to visit the schools in Chicago, New York, San Antonio, Camden, New Jersey, and St. Louis. It was his mission to give the students and the teachers a forum for their arguments and opinions in an attempt to inform America about the real problem with our American school system. He then used those opinions to support his argument that the education of some children is also the miseducation of others and still, they both come with a price.

On his long pilgrimage throughout the cities of America, Kozol found many stench filled buildings with malfunctioning equipment where the teachers have to provide the students in their classes wi

to complete simple classroom assignments. Then he flips the coin and visits the suburban areas, which appear to be lavishly equipped and merely a few minutes apart. Even though these

for opulent facilities. He seems to be saying that if the excellent schools in the Chicago suburb of New Trier, and those near an inner-city housing project like Chicago's Robert Taylor homes, appear to come from different planets there is nothing to be smug about. Instead, he declared that they and we should be ashamed. Schools are supposed to be places where the laying field starts off level, where equal opportunity holds way for all children, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born.

Of course, it would cost money to implement the barest standards, and neither the Federal government nor the states are inclined to spend money these days. Yet, the probability for developing these standards is greater than the one for total equalization.

I think that even if every state opted for this theory of equalization, we would not have total fairness. This is because some states invest more in education than others do. The only true way to get equality for kids from poor states would be to turn over the regulation of the education expenditures to the Federal government. This, too, would run up against our tradition of local control and our fear of having public education dictated from Washington.
