Why I Chose This Topic!
When I was young my mom decided that she was going to send me to private school. The public schools in my area had low graduation rates, an abundance of fights and it scared my mom for my future. As I got older I soon started to notice the disparities between the education I was receiving and that of my friends within my town. And beyond that, I started to see the difference between the exemplary public school education of my friends who live around fifteen minutes away from me then of that of my town's public education. The differences of these educations are decided by factors unchangeable by the kids who attend these schools. The sparked my interest in the topic!
