Editing Classroom segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Classroom segregation refers to the practice of separating students based on their race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status in educational settings. This practice can lead to unequal educational opportunities and reinforce social divisions within schools.

Historically, classroom segregation has been used to perpetuate inequality and discrimination. For example, during the era of segregation in the United States, African American students were often kept separate from white students in schools, leading to unequal resources and opportunities for learning.

In modern times, classroom segregation can still occur in more subtle ways, such as tracking students into different levels of classes based on perceived academic ability or segregating students by language proficiency.

Efforts to reduce classroom segregation and promote diversity in schools have been made through policies such as desegregation plans, inclusive curriculum development, and anti-discrimination initiatives. These efforts aim to create more equitable learning environments and foster understanding and acceptance among students from diverse backgrounds.
