Cultural perspectives

The education system guides us to believe in the achievement ideology. i know that in my circumstances, this is definitely the case. The achievement ideology is present everywhere you go. But I feel like people have to look at the cultural backgrounds of the students. it's not always the case that families believe in hard work dedication and further schooling to get a head. Sometimes the families cultural background says that the person has to work right out of high school and take care of their parents. it's a cultural stand point. I feel like the achievement ideology complete blocks this out and doesn't take this into account. I know that this is the case for many Polynesian cultures. But, it's something that is always looked passed.
