The problem doesn't lie within the children and the efforts we put in everyday at school so that we could have a future... The problem lay within the economic goals that are country want to uphold and the benefits while we sit in class with good intentions. The people, those who have political power, don't want it evenly spreads to the classes lower. What we, as ordinary people, need to understand the nature of humans rather than what those in charge say they could do for us.

Through the ages, we have seen the rise and fall of many people in the upper class and they didn't just drop but was force due to the greed of power. By keeping the lower class uneducated, those above us can keep ruling us while we allow their deception be followed. These deceptions is the bait in which we bite and the upper class reels us in until he fills his boat with surplus.

Deception One

Take every 100 dollar bill goes into the funding of the schools. Many believe that our school's budget is deficient, but why. Schools are growing, the flux in the budget is growing yet we still don't have enough to keep every light on and the children waiting outside while the watch the closing of there school. Yes there a recession but is that the true answer.

No, it the portions we break our money into... Take in account that the white collar jobs recieves 95 dollars for every dollar. Where does the rest go into? Just think, the 5 dollars is split in many ways for the; utilities, teachers, books, developement, and the ganitary servies. Is this a fair split, and we wonder why they [administration] closes the school down when the school doesn't fit there demands. Does it matter to you that we are being educated for under a dollar while the supervisers take in 95 times more.

Deception Two

Everyone know that time is money... If the time does not meet the monetary standards, then it does not walks but if it does than the money talk and it walks. This is what our educational system follows while the ticks go by. Ever think how can other countries can test so well by grading standards while American 8 hour education system falls second rate. It because of money, the 18 years we go to school is financially better for our country. Jamaica and school in Europe rank higher than us yet they go to school less often.

Why is that true. Money, they get paid more to have us in school longer because of the price tag of education. The ones with power that overseas this profitable systems earn larger profits with the more schooling we get. Its not a simple fact the longer equals better!!!

Good job - did you know that about 50 percent of the budget of CA is spent on schools? Some countries are not multi-cultural. Most of their students speak the native language. A blending of cultures as we have is a challenge, but a worthwhile one. Many students taking the CST, as an example, at Grant, are limited English speakers, and this makes a difference in our scores. Keep up the thinking and writing.

I saw a news story a while back on Dateline. It explained that in some other countries the money follows the student. The students could go to any school they chose and the government would pay the school. If a school wants more money they need to attract more kids by having better teachers and by doing a better job. I bet if America followed this plan the schools would make a lot better use of their funding.

I dig it, a lot! See, just as there are numerous solutions to any problem so are there opinions about a single matter. Not insisting that there's wrong or right, check out my two bids about the same deal - I just wrote a hub, inadvertantly of yours I swear :P.Would appreciate it if you commented. Your oppinion matters!

I believe the children are being cheated in receiving their education. The reason being is they are taking away music, art, p.e. and after school activities. Children need all of this its a great learning experience for them.
