Equal Schools?

The article "After Brown v. Board of Education" made me think about something that I have often thought about. It makes sense that all students should have the same access to materials and good teachers, and nice schools. The issue is that the school your child goes to directly correlates to the neighborhood your child lives in. This is good for people who live in nice areas and not good for people who live in bad areas. I know thank you captain obvious. To me, the separation isn't about race anymore it's about socioeconomic status. The issue is, it's not just a money thing, it's a while mindset that is different. I believe integrating lower income students into higher income schools would be beneficial to lower income students. My question which is probably unpopular is what about the higher income students? I teach in a low income neighborhood and have experienced all kinds of things students have said or done that I would not want my own child exposed to. I would be curious how being exposed to students who seem not to value their education as much would effect those students in higher income areas.*

*This is not to generalize and say all lower income students are bad students who don't care about school or all high income students are angels who take school seriously. It's just a question of how to integrate all students without negatively impacting any of them.
