What really is equity in education? It's been on my mind and I am sure I am not alone. This pandemic and our new norm have brought this back to the forefront again for me. We know and have discussed the word gap, the knowledge gap or whatever you choose to call it. We talk about schools in low income areas not having enough resources to effectively educate children who are already grade levels behind their peers. We have even come up with a few ideas to help level the playing field so to speak., but this pandemic has exposed some real inequalities to the world. My mind is in deep thought and I am seeking to answer the question: "What can I do to level the playing field?"

Education is very important in everyone's life. This will be our armor in life as we grow old. Having a proper education gives us edge to have a better job that earns decent money. It also gives us the confidence in facing the society and perhaps get what we aim in our life. As a parent, we must aim to provide to our children the best education that they can have. It is our responsibility to guide them and push them to succeed.
