One Aspect that Kozol Examines.

Kozol talks about the suburban schools and the inner city schools. The suburban schools have all the good teacher, materials and nice location. The inner city schools have a bad location, teachers that don't care and not all the materials that they need in a class for a good education. The inner city schools had 95% color  in their schools and they graduation rate was very low as was the success in a good future. This school was in a bad location where shootings were going on, kids getting killed, just overall not the place you would want to be in. The teachers at the school would show up late for there classes, sleep during classes and play cards. The students are learning from the teacher so they are see them come in late for work, so when those kids grow up they saw it was ok to walk in late for work so they will be doing the same thing as what they saw. Since they are living in just a horrible environment that is all they know of. They don't know how things are much better organized and less trashy. All they know is what they learned while growing up. Religious beliefs is what gives the kids hope, just knowing that there is a better place out there then where they are living now. Half of the kids are lucky to graduate the class, most of them ending up dropping out and a high percentage of them dropping out end up spending time in jail.
