School differences
Garfield High and Welton Academy are two incredibly different schools. Garfield High is a school in LA where most kids who are attending are under educated and have a lack of motivation and influence to help them finish and continue school. Welton Academy is a private school where tuition is paid to attend and parents expect there students to do extremely well. The teachers at Garfield don't feel that their students can perform at any higher levels than what they are teaching, while Welton's teachers focus on purely academic success. There's an extremely large difference in wealth and status between the students in both schools. The students who attend Garfield are from the hood and are low income students. Welton is full of extremely wealthy high class students who's parents pay for tuition, room and board, and anything else they might need. Although status is very prominently differentiated, ambitions are also another noticeable difference. Garfield's students are not concerned with school and have no future plans, most of them plan to work in a family business or go right into a job/career after high school to work for the rest of their lives. Welton's students consist of kids who are pushed by there parents to achieve high in school and go on to a four year college for pre-planned and thought out careers. They all want to please there parents by achieving the goals set out for them. Classes and teaching ability are also another difference. Welton has an array of posibuilities of classes that can pretain to any certain subject a student might want to go to school for. Garfield has a small staff of limited teaching with no computers in there school for the students to access. The teaching is very poor and cut to bare minimum classes where teachers are required to teach a subject they themselves haven't gone to school for. Overall there are many obvious differences in the schools.
