What does Miss Moore hope to accomplish during the class outing?
Miss Moore as well educated person understand the unfair and hypocrisy that is our society where socioeconomic status of any people play the my role. miss Moore wants that children who live in a poor neighborhood or slum expand their horizon beyond their community. Children must be awareness how cruel is the life, and show them that just one toy from a luxury toy store in down town, NY can feed seven family. As small, we do not care about things that is surrounding us that's why Silvia at the beginning of the trip she feels uncomfortable, and miss Moore said "keep the change" but then she realize that there is a big gap between rich and poor, not far from her home. She is upset by the inequality. Miss Moore encourage children to act positive because poverty does not mean stupid or lack of desire. And miss Moore hope that trip change children's mind and know that if others can have this type of life's style you can too. this trip also mean that those children now might have a goal in their life, not just because of having a life of luxury because the limit in life is in their mind. The lesson here is that it's does not matter if you are poor or not those children have to wake up and demand their fair share of economic resources, and also empower through education to fight against the system. If you do not know you never will claim.
Miss Moore knows that her students come from poor families. In order for such a condition to be changed, Miss Moore wants the kids to understand the excesses of wealth in society, and specifically how some people have too much (cost of the toy sailboat) and others have so very little. The fact that Sylvia is disgruntled by the thoughts generated in her mind by the excursion demonstrates the field trip's success.
