教育不平等打碎了美国梦

皮尤(Pew)的一项新调查发现，美国人认为对我们国家构成最大威胁的是贫富差距的拉大。然而我们建立的这个教育系统，以地方物业税为依托，给市郊那些最不需要帮助的富人孩子提供了最好的学校，给内城那些最需要拉一把的孩子提供了不能正常运转的危险学校。美国的教育系统，有太多时候是在放大不平等，而不是放大机遇。

My dad was a World War II refugee who fled Ukraine and Romania and eventually made his way to France. He spoke perfect French, and Paris would have been a natural place to settle. But he felt that France was stratified and would offer little opportunity to a penniless Eastern European refugee, or even to his children a generation later, so he set out for the United States. He didn’t speak English, but, on arrival in 1951, he bought a copy of the Sunday edition of The New York Times and began to teach himself — and then he worked his way through Reed College and the University of Chicago, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a university professor.

我父亲是二战难民，他逃离乌克兰和罗马尼亚，辗转到了法国。他的法语毫无瑕疵，照理说应该在巴黎安顿下来。然而他认为法国的阶级过于分明，对一文不名的东欧难民来说很难有机会，甚至他的孩子那一辈也不行，所以他就去了美国。他不会英语，但1951年来到这里时，他买了一份《纽约时报》周日版，开始自学——然后他靠自己的努力上了里德学院(Reed College)和芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)，拿到了一个博士学位，成为了一名大学教授。
