Rand Paul On Education
One more challenge that education faced today is economic funding in public schools since based on a CNN article, “the majority of children in America’s public schools come from low-income class communities” (The growing poverty problem in America's schools). Senator, Rand Paul entails that “Government is too big, and needs to be smaller” (Rand Paul on Common Core and Education). Paul explains that money is being the waste in things that are not really beneficial to anyone but themselves. For instance, he talks about the people that work in the federal government get paid loads amounts of money every year. Even the expending in nuclear weapons is a waste of money, instead of funding schools so that they can function properly and create great

    Author Keith M. Parsons’s purpose was to briefly summarize the differences between high school and college to his future students. Parson begins his article by stating a few things that will guide you into becoming a successful student. He first wants to explain the difference between a teacher and a professor, “Teachers are evaluated on the basis of learning outcomes, generally as measure by standardized tests. If you don’t learn, then your teacher is blamed. However, things are very different for a university professor. It is no part of my job to make you learn. At university, learning is your job and yours alone. My job is to lead you to the fountain of knowledge. Whether you drink deeply or only gargle is entirely up to you”. (Parson, 1)…

    Samuel Krejci“It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning was too easy. This is a great sin, to be born with a head which is too quick” (Rand 21). Anthem, a story of dystopian literature, is about a man named Equality 7-2521. He is faced with many social difficulties, like being stronger, taller, and much smarter than all of his “brothers” in their collectivist society. But his hardest challenge throughout the story is that his entire society doesn’t want him to learn at the speed and potential that he can and should be learning at, they want to hold him back so that he doesn’t realize the wrongs and become a “threat to the society.”…

    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.…

    The federal government already loses over $77 billion a year on educational grants and tax breaks, meanwhile students pay about $60 billion a year to attend public colleges and universities. By the federal government simply footing the bill instead of laundering money, public two and four year institutions could be free. This plan means cutting off aid to private institutions, but they can be left to their own endowments. This revolutionary change would mean no more confusing financial aid systems and no more crushing student loans. It is in the country’s best interest to have young adults who are educated, socially mobile, and not saddled with mountains of…

    Since 1965, when the federal government embarked on its first major elementary and secondary education initiative federal policy has strongly influenced America's schools (www.nclb.gov). Over the years, Congress has created hundreds of programs intended to address problems in education without asking whether or not the programs produce results or knowing they're impact on local needs. This "program for every problem" solution has begun to add up – so much so that there is hundreds of education programs spread across thirty nine federal agencies at the cost of $120 billion dollars a year. Yet, after years of spending billions of dollars on education, the United States have fallen short in meeting the goals for educational excellence. The academic achievement gap between rich and poor and Anglo and minority are not wide, but in some cases is still growing wider.…

    One of the most significant issues raised in public education in recent years is the radical difference that exists in funding levels between wealth and poor school districts (Zuckman 749). Many states have allotted educational funding related to tax revenues, and this has determined a higher level of educational spending in wealthy neighborhoods and a much lower level of spending for inner-city poor and rural poor communities (Zuckman 749). Because of this focus,…

    America has been a world dominating country for decades, but in the later years we've seen a constant fall in the American economy and its future. We live in a highly competitive, global economy, and if our economy is to be strong, we need the best-educated workforce in the world. Education is also essential for personal well-being. We won’t achieve that if, every year, hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college while millions more leave school deeply in debt. We need to ensure that every young person in this country who wishes to go to college can get the education that he or she desires, without going into debt and regardless of his or her family’s income.…
