Geography, as a social studies discipline, can be a powerful tool for students to explore how their social and political worlds have been built. According to Orfield et al. ([47]), "Intensely segregated nonwhite schools with zero to 10% white enrollment have more than tripled in this most recent 25-year period ... [at] the same time, the extreme isolation of white students in schools with 0 to 10% nonwhite students has declined by half as the share of white students has dropped sharply" (1). Those schools generally have less funding and resources than whiter, more affluent schools (Nowicki et al. [45], 10). Research has shown that as the average family income in a school goes up, so too does student achievement, while schools with lower average family incomes generally feature slower learning curves (Nowicki et al. [45], 8-9). [Extracted from the article] |
