Social injustice

I read an article, getting to the root of educational injustice by Jill Anderson. In it she talks about how teachers face a lot of dilemmas such as budget cuts, staff cuts or promoting students they know aren’t prepared to be promoted. She goes on to state that a lot of injustices, because they are backed into a corner where they have to make a decision, and don’t always have the appropriate support. A lot of times educators are faced with a decision that has no real good options. I think that is the hardest part about being an educator in today’s world. A lot of times the options we are given are not always the best options, but a decision must be made. Also the wrong people are in power and making the decisions who have no idea what the right decision should be or is. I think that as educators on the front line. We know what is best for the students and the students know what is best for them and those are the people who should be making the decisions, or these injustices will continue.
