There should not be such a stark difference in opportunities
Yet another story about one organization or another going to court to decide who can go to Boston Latin School appeared in last weekâs Globe (âCoalition can argue in school lawsuit,â Metro, March 4).
Two issues are highlighted by this ongoing struggle for equity in access, the first being there that is no better example of how privilege gets baked into the system. Here is a public school supported by all Boston taxpayers, yet we put the most advantaged students â those most likely to become doctors, lawyers, and CEOs â into the same school and then allow them to give back to just the BLS endowment, which in turn allows BLS to offer more advantages, and on and on.
