Answer to Question 1

Feedback: The amount of formal education an individual achieves is a major determinant of her or his occupation, income, and prestige. Inequality of educational opportunity exists in all educational levels in many subtle and not-so-subtle forms. Districts with a better tax base have superior facilities, better-motivated teachers (because those districts can pay more), and better techniques than do the poorer districts. Within each school, regardless of the type of district, children are given standardized tests that have a middle-class bias. Armed with these data, educators place children in tracks according to ability. These tracks thus become discriminatory, because the lowest track is composed disproportionately of the lower socioeconomic category.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: a. the poor
