One thing that puzzles me about this essay is the fact that the author feels that having the choice to choose where you are educated is almost like discrimination. Although some minorities may not have the funds to attend private or charter schools, there are still ways to be about to attend those schools, such as grants and scholarships. I feel that every student does have the right to an equal education and equal opportunities, but again this their choice. The students and families choose where they will be educated.
A question that I have about this essay is who is to blame for the lack of funds which would help minorities attend schools other than their neighborhood public schools?
A different way to look at this problem is by not concentrating on which schools you are attending, but look at the staff in these schools. Many people say you get a better education at a private or charter school, but if this is true why wouldn't public schools try and hire educators who will be able to provide a better education for their students?
