The real problem in education: the 'opportunity gap' - The Washington Post - 33 views

  • American society has the means to provide supports for communities, for families, for students, and for teachers – to ensure that children are safe and healthy and ready to learn, that they have access to rich learning environments in schools and also in their homes and in their communities, and that they have qualified, experienced teachers.

    "We can build on children's strengths, supporting them and challenging them to excel. The good news is that closing the opportunity gap doesn't require a magical quick fix; the bad news is that to do it we need to stop grasping at those magical quick fixes. Instead, we must turn to evidence-based, best practices."

    "Our intense focus on achievement gaps needs to be combined with an equally intense focus on opportunity gaps. The status quo of test-based accountability reform needs to give way to new, evidence-based approaches dedicated to building the capacity to accomplish accountability goals." This article by The Washington Post talks about how the opportunity gap is very large in the United States of America. It is the opinion of the author of the article that the opportunity gap needs to be reduced.

    "In particular, we have failed to build capacity or increase opportunities to learn." This sentence is a good example of why people feel so strongly about fixing opportunity gaps in education and supports their claims that some kids have an unfair disadvantage. Education, in years past, has been thought of as the equalizer, giving opportunities to learn to all kids, no matter their background. Today, people argue that children do not receive the same benefits as a reflection of many issues, not just teaching staff. While in many cases I agree that America is facing an opportunity gap in education driven by child poverty as well as economic and family struggles, I feel that people neglect to notice the strides we have made in education. In Henrico, for example, kids have a chance to attend a high school with a specific 'specialty center' in which the curriculum revolves around a more definitive subject, prepping them for future job or college opportunities. This is something that would never have been available years ago. This article directly relates to my opinion on the discussion question, but in some ways, contradicts it. I do not agree that we have failed to increase opportunities to learn, for instance. The main idea behind this article was that child poverty and poor teaching was the root of opportunity gaps in education. I feel that this is a poor reflection of our school systems because of the many programs we have created to further the education of our children.

    "The old Gaps 1.0 conversation simply cannot get us to where we need to go. Children learn when they have opportunities to learn. When denied those opportunities, they fall behind, and we get the devastating achievement gaps. But when they are provided with rich opportunities to learn, they thrive, and the achievement gaps close." In this article, it states that children learn when they have opportunities to learn. They fall behind when denied those opportunities, but when they are provided with rich opportunities, they learn well, and there is no education gap. Although, as of now, the country has failed to increase these opportunities to learn, creating an education gap.

This article is about how America is not putting their focus on the right issues when it comes to education. Instead of focusing on closing achievement gaps, America should start turning their gaze on how opportunity gaps are influencing the lives of students all over the country.

The status quo of test-based accountability reform needs to give way to new, evidence-based approaches dedicated to building the capacity to accomplish accountability goals." I believe that there is no opportunity gap in Henrico because of the fact that we have so many options for high school specialty centers, extracurricular activities and clubs, sports, etc. These things give us a good amount of opportunity in order to "close" the gap and give us a well rounded education that can sustain us for a lifetime.

    "Much has happened in the last 30 years. But let's fast forward, past the 1989 Charlottesville Education Summit and past President Clinton's "Goals 2000" legislation in 1994. Let's jump right to the "No Child Left Behind Act" of 2001. That law, along with the current administration's Race to the Top policies, has placed American school reform on a stark path best defined as "test-based accountability reform" - just as was called for 30 years ago in A Nation at Risk."

  • karleyfarmer on 04 Feb 15
     
    "It is common among education reformers to describe the country's current education crisis as "the civil-rights issue of our time." For Ryan, that is literally so: the crisis stems from the failure to desegregate public schools after the Supreme Court would not let remedies for reform cross the line between city and suburbs, a fundamental divide of geography, race, and class."

    This article talks about the wealth gap in America between middle and upper income families. Something really important that is stated in this article is that America's upper -income families have a median net worth that is nearly 70 times that of the country's lower-income families, which is the widest wealth gap between these families in 30 years. The wealth gap between upper and middle income families has increased, the wealth ratio being 6.6.

    "The tabulations from the Fed's data indicate that the upper-income families have begun to regain some of the wealth they lost during the Great Recession, while middle-income families haven't seen any gains. The median wealth among upper-income families increased from $595,300 in 2010 to $639,400 in 2013 (all dollar amounts in 2013 dollars). The typical wealth of middle-income families was basically unchanged in 2013 - it remained at about $96,500 over the same period." The gap between middle income and upper income is at record high levels. The projected increase for the upper class is also projected to increase whereas the middle and lower class is not projected to increase nearly as much.

    "The wealth gap between America's high income group and everyone else has reached record high levels since the economic recovery from the Great Recession of 2007-09" Income inequality is becoming an increasingly growing problem in the U.S. The income gap between classes is at its largest since the recession. This has led to the upper class having a salary 6.6 times larger than other classes.

This article compares the difference in income between the American upper class and the middle class. In 2013, collected data showed that the upper class earned up to seven times the amount earned by the middle class, the largest wealth gap seen in thirty years.

This shows the radical difference in the economy. The rerason for this might be that the upper classes have more money to make investments in stocks, companies, etc. This eventually ends with more money being given to the spender.

    Is it time to stop obsessing about inequality? Whatever the reason, suddenly inequality seems to be not only at the top of the liberal agenda, but in the thoughts of concerned American voters.

    "It is not only that the accumulation of income at the apex of the pyramid of success is not the nation's main problem. There is little we can do to redress it anyway." This article focuses on the importance of inequality and the problems behind it. While some critics think that the inequality gap is just a part of society, others believe that the president or executive office should take action and make a decision to stop this.

    "In his view, the defining challenge of our era is that workers in the bottom half of the distribution can no longer trust that their living standard will double every generation. "The right moral question is 'are poor people rising to a higher standard of living?' Inequality itself is the wrong thing to look at," he told me. The real problem is slow growth." This article talks about the growing issues and importance of income inequality. It says that the technology and globalization has split the labor market into high and low earners. But, there are far fewer jobs left in the middle to support the middle class.

    "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.

    s it time to stop obsessing about inequality? Perhaps it was President Obama's speech last December, calling the nation's vast income gap "the defining challenge of our time."

  • Disability can be both a cause and consequence of economic insecurity. It is a cause because disability or illness can lead to job loss and reduced earnings, barriers to education and skills development, significant additional expenses, and many other challenges that can lead to economic hardship. It can also be a consequence because poverty and economic insecurity can limit access to health care and preventive services and increase the likelihood that a person lives and works in an environment that may adversely affect health. As a result, poverty and disability go hand in hand.

    "Yet the intersection of disability and poverty is too rarely discussed. In fact, despite the fact that 1 in 5 Americans live with disabilities, the U.S. Census Bureau's annual report detailing income, poverty, and health insurance coverage did not even include poverty rates for people with disabilities until recently. It does now, and the most recent available data put the poverty rate for working-age people with disabilities at 34.5 percent in 2013, compared with 12.2 percent for those without disabilities." This article explains how Senator, Tom Harkin, speaks about immense the unemployment rate between the disabled and the non-disabled. The comparison between the "haves" is and the "have nots" is a difference of tens of millions of people. It describes how the disabled have problems financially which lead to no health care and are in need of aid from the government. However, Senator Harken speaks about program and policies that are helping the disabled for finding jobs, food, and more.

    "According to data from the Labor Department, the price index for college tuition grew by nearly 80 percent between August 2003 and August 2013. That is nearly twice as fast as growth in costs in medical care, another area widely recognized for fast-rising prices. It's also more than twice as fast as the overall consumer price index during that same period." The increase in the cost of higher education is making it harder for people born into middle and low class families to gain more work and education opportunities. This article shows how the rate of increase is slowing, but it has not stopped.

    "The countries that come out looking best include, no surprise, the usual suspects of Northern Europe. Interestingly, Eastern Europe scores quite highly as well, as do some post-Soviet countries in Central Asia. Perhaps that's a legacy of Soviet-era social programs meant to flatten class divides. But it's also a reminder that, while economic equality is great, it's not synonymous with a healthy economy. Some countries are economically equal because everyone is well-off, as in Denmark, and some because most everyone is equally poor." This article explains that sometimes economic equality is good, and sometimes it is bad. In a wealthy country with a low population, economic equality is good, but in a country with little resources and a high population, like the United States, it is important to be able to distinguish between classes.

    "To find out, the Aspirations Research Center at the Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations (QISA) listened to students in 627 schools across the United States. Between 2006 and 2010, QISA surveyed 456,021 students in grades 6-12 through our My Voice survey. The results send a clear signal that both student achievement and student opportunity are connected to the kinds of expectations, relationships, and chances for participation that students perceive they have in school. We've come to think of the "opportunity gap" some students face as having three elements: the expectations gap, the relationships gap, and the participation gap." The article talks about how there is not one opportunity gap, but three that each influence how a child succeeds in life. It explains what can be done to fix these, and how each impacts a child's learning process.
