    "The report finds that a black or Hispanic student is nearly four times more likely to be enrolled in one of the city's poorest performing high schools than an Asian or white, non-Hispanic student. According to review of 2009-10 data, none of the city's strongest schools are located in the poorest neighborhoods of Harlem, the South Bronx, and central Brooklyn. Schools with the highest scores are found in northeastern Queens, the and the Upper East Side. As a result of New York City policies, black, Latino and low-income students have very limited access to those schools."

    "A new Schott Foundation for Public Education report, "A Rotting Apple: Education Redlining in New York City," reveals that the communities where most of the city's poor, black and Hispanic students live suffer from New York policies and practices that give their schools the fewest resources and their students the least experienced teachers. In contrast, the best-funded schools with the highest percentage of experienced teachers are most often located in the most economically advantaged neighborhoods" This article talks about the education gap, or education inquality, in New York City. It describes how areas with high poverty rates have the teachers that are not that experienced and schools that do not have the necessary supplies, whereas the areas with low poverty rates and the schools with a lot of funding have experienced teachers and more opportunities for the children. The article sums up the education inquality in New York City.

    The article I have chosen clearly depicts the general population's ideas on education inequality. It gives statistics to build upon my point in the seminar and examples.
