Social Class, Lack Of Space, And Disabilities

Disadvantages children should have the same opportunities to an education regardless of social class, lack of space, and disabilities. Social class should not hold people back from expanding their knowledge. Helen Griffith argues that “no child should be denied their right to learn because of poverty.” Whether the parents of children have a solid or feeble education does not mean that their youth are going to have the same education system as them.
