When reading this to chapters there was a little spark of hope inside of me.

Chapter 9 was interesting to me and something that I am very passionate about-education. I believe that everyone needs to have good well rounded education. The fact of it is that not everyone in America get a good and fair education. In this chapter I really liked reading the sections from teachers that teach in some of these lower income schools. I see where some of them are coming from. I do think that some of the teachers Shippler talked to had good educates themselves.

Chapter 10 really made the point to me that people who are in poverty need to have support and training. They need to be able to build themselves up and get out of the poverty that seems to be a cycle that they are stuck in. One little thing that Shippler mentioned was the fact of prostitution. I wonder if there are any numbers on home many prostitutes were homeless so they joined that working field to make money.

Excited for class!!
