In the aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education, it is clear that the majority of urban children are worse off academically, socially, and emotionally after the decision was enacted. The students have actually been abandoned by most of the upwardly mobile staff and stakeholders. We do not want them moving back, we just want them to provide the education that was the promise and the dream when the Brown v. Board of Education legislation was passed.
All the funds we use that place the emphasis on financially rewarding failure is against how we build America. The educator that takes on the risk of working with a concentration of at-risk students should be paid more.
