School Funding
Dear Mr. President,
As being a future educator of America, I had a few concerns about education today. My utmost concern is about school funding. I believe that it is fair to give every student the same opportunities as you would want to be given. I am a senior at Western Illinois University and in my educational law and policy class, we have discussed this issue and looked further into the issues by studying familiar cases focusing primarily on this issue. I feel that it is very important to have not only an appropriate classroom but district as a whole so each student is in their best learning environment. After reviewing many cases, problems that arise in school funding are that students can’t receive equal expenditure due to their different needs and that education is not protected by our Constitution. Education is what frames generation’s minds and dictates how each student learns to be a voice in our country. I have been in those school’s where they didn’t have the resources in the classroom nor school to make it a comfortable learning center and I have been in a school where they every resource you could think of and the difference in each was very large. By seeing both sides, it felt great for me to see these student’s in such a great school with so many resources to learn from. Some districts spend their money the wrong way and not in needs of the students. Whether it’s helping a student out with the ability to eat lunch every day, adding a few more computers to the media center, or having colorful positive posters displayed around the classroom, teachers and officials should make simple things like this mandatory so that school funding is directed towards the students best interest. General State Aid and Poverty Grants should allow each state and district to ensure schools have the necessary funds to improve and sustain academic achievement.
