Comment on A NY School District Defies State, Plans To Proceed With Facial Recognition Testparent

Sounds like an extreme outlier, areas with such concentrated wealth which has crowded out the working class and lower-middle class are rare, most students will never attend a school like that.

It’s an outlier, but not really an extreme one: I don’t think my school differs significantly from the several dozen that are present in gentrified neighborhoods across the state.

There are nearly 1000 high schools in California, few students will ever be in the gentrified schools you speak of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_high_schools_in_Califo...

45% of students in California are poor or slightly above poor: https://www.ppic.org/publication/child-poverty-in-california...
