- 172: Institutions That Facilitate Economic Segregation
- ... educational system creates a unique paradox. While traditionally the best way to climb the ladders of society, American schools are now reproducing social classes. Those children born into poor families and neighborhoods usually begin their school career at a steep disadvantage. Public schools that are run down and lack sufficient funding or other key resources like good teachers are endemic to these lower income areas. The idea of class reproduction, or the correspondence principle, is obviously present in education. As mentioned above, differences between schools and school districts exist.

Franklin High School’s mediation has one of the most, if not the most, elite mediation program in the Portland Public School system.

- 176: Magic Johnson
- ... Quincy, Larry and Pearl were older and Kim and the twins, Evelyn and Yvonne were younger. This whole family squeezed into three small bedrooms and one bathroom.

- 177: Evidence Of Technological Change
- ... distribution. This fact is troubling for any explanation of the rise in income inequality that focuses on skill-biased technological change. After all, if there was so much technological change, why didn’t it cause high average real wage increases, rather than the historically unprecedented stagnation of wages?

It has been observed that the adoption of school uniform policies can ...
- 179: Social Reproduction Theory
- ...

Yet, those that live in low socioeconomic status areas are not going to have the same opportunity to do either of these tactics.
