This article was written to explain to educators that elementary schools taught their students different ways with direct relationship to where the school was located and how much the students parents income was. I had to read about how the elite executive school operated, these students were taught to think critically and think for themselves. These students were also given a lot of freedom with leaving class, walking to a different class without a teacher, and coming to school whenever they wanted. With all this freedom also came more pressure to do good in school, so their grades were very good.
Reading the elite executive school portion, I can tell from my personal experience in elementary school that the author of this article made it very clear on how different students were taught in different social classes. I can tell that these children were more prepared for being successful later in life than most of the children the same age in different social classes. The author of the article never says how the grades of the children from each area compare to one another.
I most certainly agree with the author. Like I said before from my personal experience of being in elementary school we weren't treated at all like elite executive school children. The only thing I could compare this reading to is something like a Walmart, they cater to the demographic with what they sell. The schools are just like that they get what they can afford and then teach and prepare their students for what they'll eventually be doing.
"These differences may not only contribute to the development in the children in each social class of certain types of economically significant relationships and not but would thereby help to reproduce this system of relations in society." This line explains that if the school systems keep going this way it will become a cycle of the same. The rich will stay rich and the poor will stay poor. And none of the different classes will ever interact.
