The largest portion of America lives in the middle class with many continually working to better themselves. However, less than 15% of all people will rise or fall one social class in their lifetime. Though it is possible for someone to find their way to the top from the middle or lower class, it is often unheard of as studies show that children and teens with opportunity fare better than the children who do not. With access to tutors for classes in which they struggle and mentors for standardized testing, why would not they do better than those who are not capable of attaining these resources? Why does the school system not have tutors available for those who need them? Is it because the government wants the balance of the social classes to remain as it is, or is it because people are truly “okay” with where they fall on the totem
