Problem:
After reviewing the resources required for this discussion forum, please examine barriers to social mobility that exist in education and how being informed about such barriers might create openings for opportunity. Draw from an intersectional perspective by engaging the reading material and presenting original, engaged, reflective work. You are expected to think broadly about social mobility, criminal justice, and identity construction, and you may be asked to leave your comfort zone and explore your identity and the identity of others in new ways. If you experience discomfort, lean into that and note this is an opportunity to exercise your brain's neuroplasticity! For this week, you will respond to the following questions. Read the instructions carefully, as you are being asked to incorporate and blend the required material in each question. Describe some factors that lead to social mobility in the K-12 system. Summarize how education can help or hinder social mobility and include the controversies surrounding school choice and tracking. Explain the link between strict, disproportionate discipline for students impacted by systems of oppression leading to being arrested and incarcerated later in life. Discuss the impact school suspensions have on educational attainment and social mobility. Share what you have learned. Need Assignment Help?
