Social Justice in the Classroom

                How can social injustices in our schools be improved? Teaching for Social Justice is defined as “an educational philosophy designed to promote socioeconomic equality in the learning environment and instill these values in students.” Public schools must provide necessary assistance for minority and low-income children. Students of all backgrounds should be gives the same chances and must be treated equally. There are several steps that we could take to boost student’s achievements like; open enrollment, empowerment schools, and banning school districts from using seniority to determine job situations. These are just a few of the steps that we could take to make our schools socially just.

          “The importance of a good education cannot be overemphasized.” There are several places all over the country that are providing social justice academics, which is great. It is important that we as teachers make sure that every student is given the same chances, that we must be patient, and show all students that they can do anything that they put their minds to.
