Students living in these poor areas, some being in public housing or past redlined areas, attend poorly funded schools inhibiting their educational outcomes and making the break from the cycle of poverty near impossible. As other pages on this website have demonstrated, much of this housing inequality is directly or indirectly caused by present or past governmental policies. As this is a problem the federal government created, this needs to be addressed by the federal government. Some solutions that have been offered are busing students and charter schools. Busing angered people on both sides of the debate, though looking back it might have been more the White Americans angered and that is why it stopped. Charter schools tend to exasperate inequalities by allowing certain kids into their schools. Therefore, housing inequality leads to an inequality in quality of education, and we are still in need of a solution because we cannot hold true to our country's values if we do not take education seriously for all students, regardless of where they live.
