Meritocracy

Although in the segment "A Class Divided" the student performed better when they were "superior" on that specific day, I still believe that children can achieve anything if they have the desire and drive to do so. People who are labeled as "inferior" are not educated about the many opportunities that they have to succeed. Instead they are only informed about the many ways that they can fail. If someone truly works hard and is not willing to settle for mediocre than they have just as good of a chance as the rest of us who are so called "superior." Kids just need to be encouraged of all the things they can accomplish instead of being constantly reminded that they are "inferior." Putting a label on students is unnecessary and only makes the situation worse. Because they think that they are inferior, they are going to perform that way. It's very much mental. If kids are all labeled the same and not separated they can perform at a higher level and achieve goals they never dreamed of.
