It is reported in the video that schools in New York City are among the most segregated in the USA. Although the region has a vast diversity of the population, schools are still able to reject students of primarily African American and Latin ethnicity. This paper will discuss questions related to the admission screening that school conduct to choose among various students; and how the minority in the student body can influence the future life of graduates.
The idea to remove the history of misbehavior from the admission material is controversial. On the one hand, the information about suspensions and improper behavior may indicate that a student lacks certain traits to be able to enter good middle school and study successfully. On the other hand, removing students from the learning process might be based on teachers’ biases or might be evoked due to unfair treatment from acquaintances in school. Thus, the authorities may decide on the degree of misbehavior that should be reflected in the admission material.
Talking about schools where the student body was mostly minority, I can say that there were specific gaps in resources that could have been bridged. Among these was a lack of personalized guidance and limited counseling programs that could improve the studying results and socializing experience and communication with students. I believe that there are adverse consequences of high school life for future development when a school does not provide comprehensive education on integrative contact with various people, fair competition, and advising programs. In the future, people who had better socializing and educating systems may get a better higher education, admission scores, and job positions.
To conclude, one can say that school experience is essential for all people. Therefore, students must get as fair and integrative education and attitude from others to become successful in the future, get better positions, and improve lives. The better experience of students may also be reflected in the economic and social state of communities where education is enhanced with the support of advisors and authorities.
