How could are schools use our money wisely. Maybe it goes to the teachers. Maybe it goes to are academics. Or maybe just maybe it goes to the students. First thing first, cafeteria. The students think that vending machines are very necessary because it would shorten the lunch lines. The students who are really hungry could get lunch faster. Also more lunch lines would be easier to get are food. Second, school busses. For the parents that work early in the morning and are always rushing, this could help them out. Students would get to school on time and parents don't have to stress about getting their kids to school. And there could be a bus for each town. Now, finally new subjects. New subjects would expand our minds and we could learn new
The American public school system faces an education crisis. According to Benjamin Barber, American children barely surpass the lowest standards set for education, especially in literacy, throughout the county’s history. Barber supports the existence of this crisis in his essay “America Skips School”, but argues against a solution to remedy the numerous problems facing the system. Although he acknowledges no solution, Barber suggests a smarter flow of financial resources will address many of the issues, however, he fails to acknowledge the distribution of this money. Barber’s suggestion for smarter financial resources for schools can be effectively implemented through a structured committee focused solely on the distribution of money.
...earn the material. Schools for the most part budget the money that they get to the best of their ability, but need more money to use for these basic and important needs. Overall the school budget committee needs to start from the bottom and fund what is necessary and needed to get schools back on their feet. These easily solved problems are a key part of school funding and should be addressed appropriately.
How will this growing problem be fixed, not only in the United States but the world as well? One important action is to continue the effort to improve schools worldwide. Schools in poorer areas of districts would benefit from a greater number of better trained teachers and faculty. Other actions to help improve schools would be to add more leadership and extracurricular activities, encourage students to focus and stay in school, and making things such as school lunch and recess better. It is important to have students enjoy being at school and enjoy learning, otherwise they'll lose intere...
Schools are where we spend half of our lives at, our kids are spending time and energy in these places to become better people in the future. There is absolutely no reason why budget cuts should ever happen in a school. If the country is taking taxes from all of the citizens than they should be conscious to spend that money on things that matter like our children. Making budget cuts takes away programs for kids to excel in and makes a child harder to express himself. Arts are usually the first programs to be cut.
However, the problems inherent in the American school system are too complex to be solved purely by money. Without interested parties watching the consumption of money, resources are consumed unwisely. A new arm of the executive branch should not be formed to act as a school watchdog, at the least it seems this would unnecessarily complicate things. Instead, the solution lies in the activity of parents in the school carefully observing the condition of the building, classrooms, and teachers. Parents should be directly involved in the school and should provide the initial stimulus.Only afterwards should the govern...
In closing, I propose to eliminate the current transportation system and let the schools organically integrate and use these liberated financial resources to renew the schools resources to teach the children what they come to school to learn and let them be who they are.
With the rapid growth of technology in America’s society today, the use of computers in school classrooms has increased tremendously—an action that certainly has become beneficial to students, educators, and parents. The use of computers has positively skyrocketed over the past ten years. Not only are computers utilized daily in large companies across the world, but the everyday use in classrooms has also become prevalent. Using modern technology to assist school instructors with his or her daily lessons should definitely be regarded as a positive, acceptable method of instruction and not definitely does not prohibit students from understanding or critical thinking.
Stephanie Medley-Rath breaks down an important issue when it comes to schools and fundraising. She makes a very valid point that school fundraisers can be expensive for most people depending on the community that you live in. Every year the school her kids go to have a fundraiser and she has to choose to either go ahead and sell the products or she just donates some money to the school. The town she resides in is considered to be a community of lower income status and only a few that are consider middle class. When fundraising, a school can choose a percentage of return in sales. Stephanie figures that if the school chooses to go with a 25% of sales and for example one person buys five boxes of chocolates for five dollars the total is $25.00 the school would earn $ 6.25. If the school chooses a 30% return and using the same scenario but the price of the chocolates would cost $ 7.00 a box, the total being $ 35.00, the school would earn $ 10.50. She examines the amount made by the majority of the community and figures that most of them cannot afford or would not want to spend $ 7.00 for a box of chocolates. She explains how she thought this was her own private issue but it is now becoming more of a public issue for her community by not being able to sell that price of chocolate to anyone.
In “Hooked on ‘Caramel-Colored Gold,” Melody Nelson claims “Despite the increased awareness of the benefits of good nutrition, we are a nation hooked on junk food, and many school administrators are taking advantage of the situation ” (par. 3). Nelson propose a ban on vending machines in schools because junk food is unhealthy for children, and they risk future health problems. I agree with Melody Nelson and believe that vending machines should be banned from school campuses, because they sell unhealthy food, they cause more money to schools for hiring extra custodians, and they are affecting children learning abilities.
Vending machines should be allowed is because it provides snacks , candy , and drinks . I think vending machines should be allowed in school is because if you are hungry you can go up and by one . Also if you didn’t have breakfast you could get something to eat from there. Last it could help the students in school .
Proper school funding is one of the keys to having a successful school. Americans believe that funding is the biggest problem in public schools. School improvements revolve around funding. There needs to be funding not only in the successful schools but also the schools that aren’t doing as well. In documentary, Waiting for Superman, it talks about how smaller class sizes will help students. Funding is what will help the smaller class sizes. State funding mechanisms are subject to intense political and economic scrutiny (Leonard). Studies have shown that funding is inversely related to accreditation levels (Leonard). School funding needs to be increased, but there must be accountability as well.

Public education funding has more than doubled in the last few years. Money associated with public schools has shown to improve academic outcomes; but the funds have mostly followed social goals. For an example, nutrition programs, education of the handicapped and busing for intermixing. I know this because of my experience with public schools. With many attempts of making
... Class size reduction is another area that would enable our school system to move forward. In a smaller size classroom, educational quality will be improved. Teachers have greater amount of time to build a solid ground for the students to flourish. Though changes need to take place in our current school system, I am thankful to be in a country where my children have the right to be educated.
Music, art, dance and drama can become very important to others so don 't take that away because some people don 't have the same tastes. Don 't take these away because of the money issue because all of that can be solved. Dance would be a fun thing to have in school because I love learning new things and I could compete against teams. These could help people come and learn how to like each other instead of having violence in school. This would be good to have in a bigger school because of all of these.
