1 .
Public versus private schooling. Private high schools provide a better
education than public high schools and students who graduate from private
schools are much more likely to enter colleges and universities than public
school graduates are. Thus, schools deliberately sort and select students either
for future high-status positions or for subordinate ones.
2.
Economic disparities between school communities. Very often schools
are financed through local property taxes. Therefore, upper and middle-class
schools get more funding, better facilities, and more experienced teachers than
low-class schools do.
