Inequality: An Unfortunate Reality

This week I'm supposed to discuss whether or not I believe that teaching online classes could eliminate inequality in school districts. Quite frankly, I'm not sure what sort of inequality is meant, so I'm not certain how to go about responding. However, I believe that online classes gives many people the opportunity to receive an education that would otherwise be lost to them. Districts with more poor communities, with families that need everyone who can to work (often during school hours) can still get an education through online classes. They can still view the course material and listen to lectures after school hours when they're not working. This would help to reduce the inequality between school districts.
While this or other suggestions could potentially reduce inequality, I think it's foolish to believe that anything will completely eliminate it. People and the world we live in are broken and sinful, and no matter how hard we try (and we should try as hard as we can), there will always be inequality until Christ returns to a new heaven and a new earth.

  1. Inequality in the sense of schools means the inequality between students whether it is race, gender, disabilities, etc. You still make some good points though in your agrument.
