Equality in Education

I am attending an AP course training at Philly for a week. It is a quite intensive one. I am glad that my principal send me here. She would like to offer more AP courses in school to help our students succeed in college. At the same time, I found out that most of the teachers in training are from suburban schools. At least in my class, I am the only one from a public high school of metropolitan area. Some of those schools offer more than 10 AP courses. Obviously, city school students do not get the same quality of education. Whose fault? It is not hard to find out that as inner city teachers , we don't get same amount of resources as many suburban school teachers. Another problem is that many highly qualified teachers would like to teach in suburban schools. I don't know how far Bloomburg and Klein can go. I just hope that we, teachers in New York City, get the respect and support we deserve for the benefit of our students.
