Public Funding Pros And Cons
Public funding
In this year's presidential campaign election over one billion dollars will be spent on campaigning .Some candidates who drop out have spent around 4 times as much as the candidates who are still in the race. At the same time many of the candidates preach government spending and how to fix the nation's debt. Our nation is in about 20 trillion dollars in debt so why are we spending so much on our campaigns .The United States of America is the country with their most debt One reason that public funding is bad because it takes public funds to the many political parties and then it takes money away from schools and hospitals which then the money goes to the rich politicians. Also some really poor schools that who can't even

    The few U.S. students who live in high-income communities within generous states attend public schools funded at $15,000 or more per student per year, whereas other students in poor communities within stingy states are supported by $3,000 or less per year in funding for their schools (Gollnick & Chinn, 2006). I think that all public schools should have the same funding, no…

    Public schools are government funded, which allows for low enrollment costs. By having government funding, the public school is able to provide the students with more resources that benefit their education. A larger budget to work with allows the public school to have many extracurricular activities for the students to participate in which can benefit a student beyond the educational needs they receive in class. When a public school has a fundraiser or is presented with a donation, that money can go towards specific resources needed or wanted within the school.…

    The two candidates spent so much for one obvious reason: Florida is a swing state. When we look back to previous elections we see that in the past two elections Florida voted for a Democratic president, and in the two elections before that, Republicans were chosen. We see that Florida’s majority can go to any party. In contrast Charles Minshew, a contact reporter, states “Since 1936, Floridians' pick for president has lined up with the overall winner in 18 out of 20 elections. That track record, the state's growing diversity and its 29 electoral votes make the Sunshine State a perpetual target of campaigns” (Minshew 2016). Also if we look at New York as a contrasting example, most presidents that are voted for the most are Democrats. The last time a republican was chosen as a president was in 1984. This is shown by Sarah Wheaton in her article for the New York Times, entitled “New York: Not as Blue as It Could…

    As a society we believe if people are provided wit the best education then we will have a good economy and a good life. In a speech by the President of the University of Illinois the President said,” when funding for this core mission is disrupted, the entire system is threatened.” The president’s statement is correct because if the University of Illinois isn’t being funded properly then the student’s education is at risk. It is understandable that the state government shouldn’t be blamed for the financial crisis fully, but the government is the one who should provide the university the funds. The University of Illinois wants the top people their fields to graduate from this university, which will only be possible if the government gives the university the money it deserves. The state government is using the money on other things instead of giving it to the universities. This isn’t fair for the school because they have to also pay bills. When the state doesn’t provide the money to the universities, they also go in debt.…

    Federal aid to public schools is a debatable topic in itself. Many people feel that a federal presence is unnecessary. The federal government feels that the money they can provide can be used to build new schools, buy computers, and update textbooks. Many people feel the localities can provide these necessities. There are those localities that cannot provide these things, but that is not…

    In the Chicagoland area in Illinois, these questions are visible to everyone who lives there. I went to a private high school in the suburb Lombard named, Montini Catholic. To attend this school you had to pay around $11,000 a year. Because of that price stamped on the school, some people are deterred away. My school was very generous and used money that it received to help students that were struggling to pay their tuition. When I graduated, Montini had received turf for their football field, IPads for the students to use in class, a new gym floor, new baseball field, and a brand new parking lot. But where did all this money come from? Well the wealthier families who attended my school were very generous and helped fund these projects. My school has clubs, sports, and great academics that the students participate in and receive great opportunities from. Some may think that’s a private school, what about the public schools? There a many public schools in my hometown area, and they have significantly more money than the private school I went to has. For example, the school Naperville Central that is located 5 miles away from my house. Everything at their school is up to date in technology and are always doing renovations on the school to make it bigger and better. The only…

    You 're a ninth grader at a school in Philadelphia. The neighborhood is poor, even if not all of the students are. Your school has very little money for things like computers or technology. You walk into second period one day, sit down, and discover that the floor next to your desk is damp. The teacher explains that there is a leak in the roof, and that the school can 't afford to fix it. The school can 't afford to fix the leak or buy computers because it is inadequately funded. So the government kindly lends your school the money to not only fix the leak, but buy computers. But does that necessarily motivate you to improve your grades? Do you suddenly decide to do your homework because the leak is fixed? Probably not. The government sees that your grades remained the same, and two years later, when our school needs to hire more teachers and make the classes smaller, the government denies the school that money. They say that since money didn 't help your grades last time, why should it help you now?…

    This is a major problem because public schools are being run at the lowest budget possible and dividing the money for charter and traditional schools means everyone is strapped for money. Many educators argue that it is not ethical to take money away from schools that are in need of programs that will benefit student achievement; while others argue that it is not ethical to make students attend failing schools. The infrastructure of charter schools will be different based on state…
