Urban Education

There are several problems in urban schools, such as poor quality education and school isolation. The main reasons for these problems are increased immigration and conversion from rural to urban areas. As a result, poor people and ethnic minority students are concentrated in urban schools. These problems forced the formation and application of the policy "no one left behind" to be a bet on better education systems and standards in the United States.

Clearly, improving urban education is not just about improving urban schools. Urban education is influenced by citizen's immigration, economy, social welfare, health and housing policy. Since these do not generally contribute to urban areas, the problem is larger than the problem that educational policy can solve. In order to deal with the problem of urban education, it is necessary to regard the city of America as a resource, not harmless ignorance (Hodgkinson, 1991). If you ignore the problem of the city, there are many signs that the problem from broken baby to school crack worsens. This problem is not a problem mainly for black children. Because our city school feels a new wave of immigrants, because all children, including Hispanic, Asian, and Caucasian, are in danger.

Although we have reached an agreement on today's urban education reality and potential future problems, we have not reached an agreement on the solution of urban education problems. I see some light, but they will not gather. We have defined several policies to help solve the solution parameters and urban education crisis, but the political will and ability to build a solution now seems to have a way to go. We need to recognize that our country needs to improve the education of all children to promote the economic and political health of the country. It is not clear yet where the nation acquires political and economic will and the ability to accomplish this task is obtained.

The current state of urban education we can measure now is very poor, there are many reasons for pessimism and future optimism. There is evidence of anecdotes about urban education, school district evidence, and student achievement related to demographics, but there is no system information necessary to define the city dimension of the problem. Organizations reporting country-specific data are not generally reported by city's location, and organizations reporting city data generally do not contain educational output data. For example, in the Urban District Report issued by the National Board of Education (1988), there are many statistics on the nature of these fields, but the achievement results have not been reported.
