Today, many public schools cannot afford to teach appropriate education in this city because they have not been financed properly by the Board of Education. During the time period of 1997-1998,
New York's Board of Education had spent practically $8,000 on the education of a third-grade student in a
New York City public school annually. Yet, if you were to pick up that same one third-grader and place that one in a typical white suburban neighborhood of
New York, the worth in education will sum up to $12,000. If you were to lift this child once more, then place her in one of the wealthiest suburban neighborhood, that third-grader would receive and amount of $18,000 in education! These days of course have changed and the funding of public schools has been raised to about the sum of about $22,000, but we're still behind suburbs such as Manhasset. This is not fair because, most public schools in these suburbs have things that a public school in the city doesn't. This is showing socioeconomic discrimination by class. It's just telling us that we are in a way still being segregated against by our class as well. If we are all created equal, then why shouldn't are education be?

 Suburban School: A Manhasset, Long Island suburb schoolThis school is a suburban public school in the suburb of Manhasset, Long Island. Most schools do not appear as this one and it's a shame that our school can't live up to the standards of this school because the quility of their education was more rich.
