Lack Of Public Education

Public education is the future of this nation and as of right now almost “25% of high schoolers drop out and 30% of children fall behind by age 8”(National Center for Children in Poverty). More and more kids are giving up on their own education and others are giving up on them because of the lack of attention. School reform is defined as changing public education and lack of student success is not a third world problem, some of the wealthiest schools in the world still struggle with kids not reaching their full potential.

Many people believe that reform is not possible without breaking the bank, that we need loans and grants for students to excel. “The Los Angeles Times” states that “Research funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation found that well-paid public school teachers can make all the difference in preparing students for higher education”. This fact does have the support and its common knowledge to say that the wealthiest schools have the highest rate of success in students, but it is more than possible to turn that stereotype around, to support this fact, (https://youaremom.com/causes-poor-academic-performance-school/) states that the real reason for poor performance in schools is more or less the school environment and the people they come in contact with .
