Diversity in Schools

According to the reading: “Justice and Fairness: Formal and Substantive Equality (Pg129-131) sometimes treating people fairly means that their differences have to be recognized and accommodated” in other words, people have to exclude their personal gain, advantage, opinion, wealth status or even forget their birthplace, in order to look at fairness objectively. In the web article, Anna Philips says “For more than a decade, the number of black and Hispanic students scoring high enough to be offered a seat at the city’s specialized high schools has been on the decline” that might show us how people in America thought that they have been given equal opportunities. In reality, only students with wealth could afford private tutoring, which meant that, certain members of the population, who live in poverty, were not able to send their children for tutoring lessons. Later on, Mr. Danny Guez, who was a law student, attended one of these classes with just 11 students, and realized that the system was unfair. He believed that all people should have equal chances in showing their intelligence, motivation and academic skills to gain access to these top high schools. Finally, he created these tutoring programs and poverty students could finally show their capabilities of doing good.

As resources for free programs are limited

It would seem fair to give all student access to the same programs

But students wit are limited

For all students to have an equal chance to elite colleges and high schools,

They should all have equal access to tools i.e tutors, help .

To gain access to some of these resources money is required
