5 things to make a difference in education

            Our education could use some help. There are many things wrong with it. A few things that make our education not so great is there are teachers who don't do a good job at teaching, there are schools that aren't doing well and for some students to get into a good school it's like a lottery, and money also seems to be an issue. I don't think it's right that childrens chances of getting a good education is like a lottery. It's not their fault some school aren't that good. Their education shouldn't have to be put at risk. I say money seems to be an issue with education because in the film Waiting for Superman someone mentioned, "Money has grown from 4,300 to over 9,000 dollars per student since 1971." A few things I would do to make a difference in our education is have teachers be qualified and really know the subject well that they teach, have equal availability of resources, try to make students feel less pressure socially and to focus more on school, and have the same standards set throughout the entire country. I think if teachers know their subject really well then they would be able to do a good job at teaching it and their students would actually learn. If I could, I would make sure every teacher was able to have the materials needed to teach. I think some students feel more pressure to fit in with everyone else and focus less on school because of it so I would try to make everyone feel the same so that they would focus all their attention on learning. I would also have the same standards for every single state in the country. I think all students should be able to have a certain amount of knowledge on things with exceptions for students with disabilities and special needs.
