Ava Bridges - Integration Response

I think that student integration is extremely important in order to ensure that students are getting the best possible education they can.  Students not only learn from their teachers, but they learn from their peers as well.  If students weren’t different from one another, they would just be getting one-sided stories and they would not be getting the full story from different points of views.  I think it is crucial for students to be integrated to learn from a young age that no specific race is smarter or dumber than the other.  It is hard for students to understand that because students come from different educational backgrounds and haven’t been taught the same things in the same ways.  For example, someone who can start private school at a young age, say pre-k or earlier, is going to have an advantage in first grade than someone whose first year of school is in the first grade because they couldn’t afford the extra education at a young age.  Not only can this happen in school, but inequality can also form when kids are able to afford camps, tutoring, extracurriculars, etc.  In a perfect world, very student would be given the same opportunities to learn, regardless of their socio economic status.
