    "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.
