Chapter 9 really hit me. We all know that the education system in America is unfair. Wealthier areas have more taxes to support the schools with, making those school better than the schools in poor areas. But the fact that this teacher, who knows most of her students won't achieve their dreams, actually tells them that fact is part of the reason that they won't! These kids already are kept down by their environments, but if they do not believe that their dreams are attainable, they won't try at all!
