Are school suffering like schools in east saint Louis ?

 I think that the school in the Bay Area at least some in the more rugged areas are like the ones in East St. Louis reading the book they talked a lot about the condtions the schools were in with the molded walls And sewage running into the schools and how some students had to share books just painted a very ugly picture of a broken down school .We'll oakland schools are not quit like that but if you think about the environment that these schools are in it kind of the same the middle school that I whent to was in the middle of a gang turf where are play facility was also a local ungated park to were people can just come up and hang out at any time . As kids we would find used needles and drugs on school campus  the teachers were never permanent seem like we always had a difrent substitute teacher  because the kids in the school were so out of hand ,I can recal teacher walking out because they have no control over the class . School was never really fun did not have a sports team or any special programs that can promote kids to take school more serious at young age   . I also remember having to share books that othen had torn out pages and griffitii in them .you can just tell that the school really didn't have money the school couldn't even afford computers or at least one computer room for the school , the school had no money I can see that now that I'm older but when you're a child you really just learn to accept the way that things are and work with the conditions  a kid  won't complain about there circumstances until they see that on the other side of the moutain kids have way better opportunities and chances to succeed in life .

The reason theses kids on this side of the mountain have more opportunities and more of a chance to succeed in life is the amount  of money threw property tax and donation that these kids parent are putting in because they have jobs good paying ones to were they can do stuff like that and not be stuck between generosity and  survival .it kinda angers me when u think about how every time you here about a school getting donated a bucnch of computers  to a wealth school that can afford them and some times already have them just up grading  , when they can really donate them to a school that kids don't have the chance to work with a computer .

I really think that the rich is protected so that the poor stay poor  they make sure of that by not letting u venture out your city to another to go to a better school if your zip code does not add up with the school your trying to go to they will deny you  and if you are lucky you may have a relative that has that zip code and you get in like that but if you don't you out of luck meaning your stuck.Keeping you from having the skill that are expected of you to have in the future again something as simple as making it mandatory that every school in California have computers not just the ones in the cities that are wealthy enough to afford it . Because if we don't we end up being the ones left with no jobs no computer literacy skill to apply for one  we will always be to steps behind  if all education opportunities are not equal.
