Bettering Urban Education

The issue of students receiving equal education has been a popular topic among debates. Since the mid-1980’s state legislatures, state education departments, and courts have dismantled local school boards and administrative structures. Takeovers by courts and state governments are intended to lessen the bureaucratic routine and make room for people who have new ideas. As the effort to improve performance of urban schools continues there seems to be no effective change as of yet. …

…education at this time is to get certified school teachers into the urban school systems. This is no doubt an effective way to improve the urban education. It is known that when there are better teachers, better students are produced. Hopefully an effectiv! e solution will be reached soon so that students who have no choice but to attend urban schools will have equal opportunity with students in other schools in achieving a well-rounded education.
