We need Better Allocation of Resources in the forms of Teachers, Equipment, and Opportunities

 The historical background of the country is littered with inequality. Some people think that it only reflects the mistreatment of colored people, but all those that have lived in squalor and in the state of poverty have been affected.  We must remember that human rights have long been problematic for economic progress, which has led to barriers being created between the haves and have nots and rich and poor.  The root is generally grounded in greed, money, wealth, influence, control, power, and class ideology and politics.

We know that the impact of separate school districts combined with inadequate resources has plagued certain communities for decades.  This is not news.  

If we could solve the inequality in the education across the board, the first thing we need is the desire to do so.  This is no new topic, but something grappled in the Department of Education at the highest level, but mostly we try the same techniques.  Where push to comes to shove is to realize that we need better allocation of resources in the forms of teachers, equipment, and opportunities.  As a minority, and someone who lived in Hempstead NY, I saw first-hand how there is an economic divide between Garden City and Hempstead.  Literally as you cross the street separated by one traffic light, you are in two different worlds, and that is idiomatic of the divide in many areas of the country.  Hempstead High School makes up for the lack of resources with outstanding teachers.  That is the first part of the equation that can be corrected.
