Final Blog/What will I do next?

First I would like to say that this class has been very eye-opening. Although I knew schools were no equal, I did not realize the extent to which there are inequalities. My favorite part of this class was diving into certain areas that I thought were to better our education system but in the end, end up hurting those that really need the government's help. An example of what I am talking about is when we spoke about No Child Left Behind. It was mind-boggling to think that this act could cause such corruption in our school system.

As for what I will do next, I would like to say that I am going to change our education system and get rid of inequality forever. However, I know that this will not happen. The most immediate action I think I will take will be to vote. I did not vote during the last election because I really did not care. I will try to make my decision informed and truly learn the policies of each candidate. Eventually, hopefully, I will have a child going through our school system. By that time, I hope that some of the issues we discussed this semester will have been taken care of or at least minimized.
