"Savage Inequalities"(1991)By: Jonathan Kozol

                      This piece written by Jonathan Kozol was about his journy to a high school in Bronx New York. The author begins by giving a description of how the antique school looked from the outside and then goes on to talk about the innosence and happyness that the students at the school seem to express. I was surprised to find that as the author continued, the school was not as it would appear.                       The teachers looked like they actually cared alot about their students and the students for the most part were intelligent and understood alot about the world around them, so how could the school be suffering so badly. How is it possible that all this potential does not produce great graduation percentages or test scores, the answere as Jonathan revealed was that the school was actually falling apart. The principal of the school gave the author a tour and revealed that the fourth and fifth floors of the school had the most damage, with gaging whols in the sealing and even the guidance office had a buckt placed under a spot in the roof to collect dripping water.                  The ruins did not stop there, the schools older audotorium was completly unusable in a school were tuns of students loved to perfom. They performed as a way to express themselves and after some of the students sat aside and spoke to the author, he found just how intelligent they were. Each of those students were either black or hispanic, they understood the hars reality of the fact that they had a school that was falling apart and wouldnt be fixed because of them being minorites.                   I found this documentary to be very informative and filled with strong messages. It is hard to believe that so much talent is being waisted away because of segregation. Something needs to be done to help all communities like this one, people who have too much should understand that there are people with nothing and desreve just as much as everyone else. This would be a great read for all students who take their educational advantages for granted.
