"This buzzing variety does not exist at home, or in
churches, temples, or mosques either. It exists in public
places where diverse people are thrown together, places
where people who come from numerous private worlds
and social positions congregate on common ground."

I think that this quote answers the question of who has access to education. Although it does not specifically say who is getting education, it shows that our schools are diverse and that our schools have students with many types of different backgrounds.

Walking into a school in many parts of the United States you will see through the halls that our country truly has the most diverse population in the world. You can also look at our schools for a basic, broad look into what goes on in our society. Since many people in the States have gone through public education it is fair to say that the professional world starts at the schools. Exactly what I’m trying to say is that it is important that people take a hard look at our schools and specifically public education because it shapes what is to come for tomorrow. Many people may sometimes forget how diverse our population is, but it is important to remember that there is not only one type of people in our society.

In direct answers for the question of who exactly is taking advantage of our education, you can not simply say that it’s just one gender, race, culture etc. It is clear that our schools contain so many different types of people it’s hard to narrow it down to one single population. What we can say about who is getting educated though, is that while they are learning the curriculum being taught by education they are at the same time being taught from their fellow students about how diverse our world truly is.
