Summary

This quote criticizes the current educational system, arguing that the focus on knowledge acquisition creates limited opportunities that are only accessible to affluent families. It implies that educational institutions prioritize the accumulation of knowledge over providing equal access and opportunities for all students. This limitation occurs because affluent families often have greater resources to access quality education, while marginalized communities struggle to afford the same level of educational opportunities. The quote suggests that a more equitable approach to education should be adopted, allowing equal access to opportunities for all students regardless of their socioeconomic background.
