In the United States, we are confronted with an inequality that is both structural and pervasive. Schools that serve students from wealthier backgrounds receive more funding and have more resources than those that serve students from poorer backgrounds. This inequality has a direct impact on students’ educational opportunities, outcomes, and life chances.
In order to confront this inequality and improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for all students, we need to reimagine the null curriculum. This is a curriculum that excludes topics and content that are not considered important or relevant to students’ lives. By including topics and content that are relevant to students’ lives, we can help to address the inequality that exists in our schools.
We can start by including more content about social justice and inequality in our curricula. This will help students to understand the impact that inequality has on their lives and the lives of others. Additionally, we can provide more opportunities for students from poorer backgrounds to participate in extracurricular activities and programs. This will help them to develop skills and experiences that will be valuable in the workplace.
