The concept of after school activities is an overall good idea for students, but they often get over looked. Many students love to go to clubs after school or play on sports teams, but when the educational system is in a financial stipend, the after school activities are the first things that are cut. Extracurricular activities were created to bring students together and to also keep students off the street and out of trouble. It is not fair that these are the things that get cut when there is a money shortage. Now a days not many students like school, but the one thing that gets then through the day is looking forward to what they will be participating in after. Do you think they will ever find a way to keep the extracurricular activities in the event of a financial crisis?
Another interesting concept that this chapter mentioned the concept of equal opportunity. This chapter talked about the promotion of equals rights between all students, but as idealistic as this sounds, it is just not going to be completely equal. Yes, over the years things have started to balance out between men and women, Caucasians and Latinos or African Americans, or Asians, but it is still not equal. Will there ever be a time when every person is offered the same opportunities?
