"There is evidence that inequality among the lower rungs of the socio-economic ladder can have deleterious consequences, stunting the ambition of the poor. But even avowedly liberal social scientists have had a tough time figuring out the negative consequences of the rise of the 1 percent." The article explains how income inequality is rapidly increasing as the margin from rich to poor is clearly visible. The top 1% of the people in America are controlling the income of the rest of the population in certain parts of the United States of America. This is happening because there is a lack of education which leads to other problems. It is always important to have a good education and be successful in life.

"Overall, schools in poorer districts spent $8,733 per pupil less in 2012 than those from wealthier ones, an inequity that grew by nearly 9% from before Cuomo took office in 2011, according to the study by a coalition of education advocacy groups opposing many of the reforms pushed by Cuomo." The highlighted portion and the article itself describe the reasons in which the richer schools get a better education than the poorer schools. It shows it in statistics and shows the advantages and disadvantages of attending one of these schools. The students in the richer schools move on to be more successful in life and will not struggle later on. Further, another key point is that it is important that the schools know how to spend their money wisely for the education for students.
