SOCI 3630 Lecture 8: Lecture 8-Social Inequality
Document Summary
Lecture 8: social inequality: parents and the fundraising of playgrounds. You can"t fund for new textbooks or the roof but they have a six figures playground. It was to make sure there was still equity in the board. If one roof leaked then they all should leak: you could buy ipad for the children but not new textbooks for the students. The boards were claiming they were committed to equitable practices across schools. In poor areas where schools are built in industrial areas you are much more likely to find one playground and no park space. Equity is very important to the school system: the enjoyment in schools happen in the playground. The double diamond model of stratification: this is a visual demonstration originally based on data from the us. Canada are in this level of employment: based on us data, but inequality.
