The Muckraking Project

For our Muckraking Project, our group is talking about the difference in funding schools in the Bay Area receive. I think that this is an important issue because I have seen first hand the disparity in funding that schools receive, and I don't think that it's fair to the students. I guess this is going to be sort of a summary of what we're doing our project on.
One of my close friend's mom is a teacher at a dual immersion school in East Palo Alto, and I been to her school on several occasions. Nearly everything in the school, from the outside and overall establishment to what is actually inside the class room, out right looks like its cheaper than the things in the MVLA district area. This is an issue because I think what it does that really matters, is that it downgrades the education of the students, which is really sad because a lot of the students in sections like these are from families whose parents might have not even graduated high school. This is obviously a problem, and I think one of the worst parts is that it often gets overlooked by the general public, especially in our school area, because the area we come from is extremely privileged in terms of wealth and school education in general.
Obviously we haven't done any interviews yet, or even conducted much research at all, but I'm excited to see what we find when we do interview various teachers and school board members from around the bay.
