A high school recently received a 60 million dollar grant from an alumnus.
I congratulate the donor on the occasion of the generous gift.
The high school is a good school with numerous wealthy graduates.
Only a few miles away stands an inner city high school that tells another story.
It is a story of deprivation.
It is story of a daily struggle to provide a decent learning experience.
Students don’t have text books of their own.
Text books remain in the classroom.
Students must push their desks together so they can share a text book.
Athletic programs are underfunded so many sports are eliminated.
Many high schools can’t afford a librarian which leaves doors to the library locked.
I am familiar with both types of high schools.
It is a continuation of the “Haves And The Have Nots!”
Are there any solutions?
