My first job out of college was as an academic researcher

at one of the largest juvenile detention centers in the country.

And every day I would drive to this building

and walk down these brown, brick hallways as I made my way down to the basement

The kids coming in were about 10 to 16 years old,

most likely from the same impoverished South and West Sides of Chicago.

They should've been in fifth to tenth grade,

but instead they were here for weeks on end

Some of them came back to the facility 14 times before their 15th birthday.

And as I sat there on the other side of the glass from them,

Why didn't schools do something more to prevent this from happening?

and I still think about how some kids get tracked towards college

but I no longer think about schools' abilities to solve these things.

You see, I've learned that so much of this problem is systemic

that often our school system perpetuates the social divide.

It makes worse what it's supposed to fix.

as saying that our health care system isn't preventative

but somehow profits off of keeping us sick ...

I truly do believe though that kids can achieve great things

But if we're serious about helping more kids from across the board

we're going to have to realize that our gaps in student outcomes

are not so much about achievement as much as they are about opportunity.

that majority-white districts receive about 23 billion dollars more

in annual funding than nonwhite districts,

even though they serve about the same number of students.

Lower resource schools are dealing with lower quality equipment,

those are also the schools most likely to serve

who will most likely have to sleep in a homeless shelter tonight.

The student, parent and teacher are dealing with a lot.

Sometimes places are misplacing the blame back on them.

In Atlanta, we saw that teachers felt desperate enough

to have to help their students cheat on standardized tests

Eight of them went to jail for that in 2015

which is more than what many states give for second-degree murder.

The thing is though, in places like Tulsa,

that these people have had to go to food pantries

or soup kitchens just to feed themselves.

The same system will criminalize a parent who will use a relative's address

but for who knows how long authorities have turned a blind eye

onto the most elite and beautiful college campuses.

And a lot of this feels pretty heavy to be saying --

and since there's nothing quite like economics talk to lighten the mood --

when we fail to tap into our students' potential.

we could've closed our long-standing student achievement gaps

between students of different ethnic backgrounds

could have gone up by more than 500 billion dollars.

between our students here in the US and those across the world,

of up to 2.3 trillion dollars of economic output.

But beyond economics, numbers and figures,

I think there's a simpler reason that this matters,

like the one we pride ourselves on having --

a child's future should not be predetermined

A public education system should not create a wider bottom and more narrow top.

that these things aren't that close to home,

those parts of the house that we always say we're going to get to next week,

Instead of constantly looking away to solutions like privatization

or the charter school movement to solve our problems,
