In the article "Schools in crisis, reforms not working, federal panel declares"(link) By Stephanie Simon describes the current school system as a failing one. Many poor area schools have lowered the bar on education witch is supplying children with a poor education. Simons also states that many beginning teachers are also not ready to teach and have provided a lower quality of teaching. Overall, poor schools have less funding for education compared to wealthier areas which have two to three times the budget for supplies and teachers. The government has run into this problem a few other times in the last 50 years but there has not been a constant effort to fix the problem.
I think education is very important especially with all the distractions kids have these days. Every school no matter what district is in should have a certain amount of funding and the same quality of teachers. They should change the process of how one becomes a teacher so we don't have to hear that these teachers are thrown into their own class rooms with out the proper knowledge to teach our children. They propose to open more charter schools, which would be good for more students to get into school and maybe get more one on one time with teachers. The government and colleges should also work together to make sure all these problems get addressed, also that current and future teachers get the necessary training to guide and teach our future.
I agree with you. There should be the same budget for every school and school district. It's not fair that some schools are not educating their students enough to get into the college they need or get the job they want. They should defiantly come up with something to make it better.
