Lack of Equality in Technology Studies are being conducted to determine the impact of economic inequality on the educational services to children in the United States. Research suggests that the funding of public schools through property taxes contributes to economical and scholastic inequalities in the school system, such as lack of technology, inferior quality of instructors, and lower grades and levels of academic competency. Since the passing of Proposition 13 large companies have been able to utilize those loopholes to avoid paying property taxes, and residents are feeling the pain as their educational systems are largely funded by these taxes and it has created a definite change. Education should be designed to ensure that all pupils have a chance to excel in life and in their educational endeavors. Student’s success in school now determines how successful they will become as adults in college and how much they will be paid in the profession they are able to choose.
There is a definite lack of equality in technology being used as well as advancement opportunities for disadvantaged schools. Unfortunately, the effect of technology on student achievement is not well documented because of the uneven distribution of technology. Low income areas also have more of a need to hire person to help set-up and support the use of technology in the schools. The job placement and payment of salary to technical support personnel takes up a large portion of a schools technology budget. Most of the time this is not considered when planning for the technology budget which is why so many underfunded and low-income schools do not have adequate technology programs.
