Quindlen links the conclusion to the introduction of her essay with the words "like many improbable ideas, when it works, it's a wonder", which is very close to her claim in the overall text, "America is an Improbable idea", it isn't supposed to work but it does despite all of the differences, specifically racial or ethnic, within it.
I mean public school in general is way too expensive. Yes it’s “free” but is it really? Can you get food if you are hungry for free? Does the school provide materials for free? Can you do sports with no charge? No. It’s terrible that we have to pay for an education. Especially when so many people fail at school because of all of the stress. School fees should not be increased because education is a god given right. It should not be a privilege. And making it more expensive is making it a privilege that only a certain democratic can afford.
hope this helps! Have a good day!
