Racial Stratification and Education

   In this article it showed the lack of education services aren't being equally treated between whites and blacks. Marx's identified two forms of class analysis: Correlation and Cultural Reproduction/Resistance Analysis. Correlation was an analysis that is believed to be dependent on one's family background with their attitudes in school performances. The Cultural Reproduction/Resistance was based on research/ theories of Marx, which meant that the theory showed that working class student rejected education. Working class students rejected this, because it was due to the lack of respectable treatment they were receiving. This does deal with social stratification, but does society realize that by classifying certain people and not helping students out it just manages to increase chaos and disorder.
    In another part of the article also talked about "School Performance Gap Transcends Time and Class Boundaries." It focused on the desegregation towards black and their performances in the school and how the lacked a certain educational standard. Blacks were basically being pointed out as the weaker link, because of their lack and care of education as society believed.  The article mentioned "the gap", i wasn't to sure on what it's main meaning was but i believe that if state's on the living conditions it would defined them on how they act towards everything else. If society see's them as such a weak link then why don't they just have the ability to help them instead of making them look bad and make them seem that all of them don't care for an educational degree. 
   In the last part of the article it talked about " How Racial Stratification Enters into Black Education." Three ways that were stated in which racial stratification enter into black education 1) societal educational policies, 2) the way black students are perceived and treated in specific schools they attend, and 3) People's own perception and responses to their schooling. All of these three ways just showed how stratification enters black education. This three way's reminded me of a quote " In order for you to get respect show respect to others." Overall this part covered how blacks weren't treated equally in terms of their education, which caused them to have less job opportunities and get a higher education. But even in the schools the treatment that they received wasn't as good either. In one statement it states " some black educators and others agree with this interpetation that the academic work is "white"". This to me shows that society again wants everyone to be the same not everyone can be the same, because if that was the case society would have to be like everyone else, which can cause others to disagree with that as weel as I do.
