Are we mistakenly swapping equal education with equal opportunity education? Kozol fought the inequities of an educational system that lacked necessary transparency and inadequately adjusted to the needs/wants of students stuck in a particular track. Tracking seems to make sense if a school adjusts the courses that are made available to students based on their current performance in that particular subject, provided that each student is then allowed to switch tracks as they provide evidence of mastery of material in their current track. Every school must make an equal and excellent educational opportunity to all students. Education begins in the home. How each student comes to school and takes advantage of the opportunities that come his/her way will, and should be different. That's truly differentiated education. Aren't these wonderful opportunities that have made the United States such a desireable place to be?
