In the news the other day, Obama made another speech on education.He talked about the republicans plan on education and how it will lead to a 20% education cut. It surprises me that officials or the people in government have not yet recognized the importance of education in our country.
However, despite the importance of the subject the media still managed to focus on something extremely trivial. During his speech, the presidential seal fell off of the podium. While trying to research the basic points from the speech, I found articles mostly contributed to the seal mishap. Never mind the important information that he shared with America on one of the most important issues: Education.
It never fails, that as each year goes by and the generations get older, we complain about how education is not how it used to be. Here we are attempting to make changes and "no one" is listening. Of course there are some people that care, like teachers and parents of young children concerned about their future. But what about the people that can actually bring about change?? The people with money, the people on executive boards, etc. when will they start to take action and attempt to change the route that Education in America is going in?
Bill and Melinda Gates has pitched in and is helping children get to college with their scholarship...but when will other millionaires start to follow suit?
We need to do better!
Until Next Time...
Lauren!
