Hey! Mr... What you gonna do!?!?!

There are many things that need to be changed because of gaps between the wealthy and the poor. The gaps are also represented in the education of the children. Those children who are middle class receive a better education than those who are from a lower class. The children are most likely to be a minority when they come from a lower income family. They are not learning the basic information that they need to achieve in life. The students are to be blamed, but those students who see school as optional are dropping out at an increasing rate. What do we need to do keep those children in school? Must we involve something as materialistic as money?

My belief is no. A student should not be encouraged by money because at a certain age finding money through drug dealing will become an option for them. This will waste all the money you spent trying to instill the idea of learning into a child who will find the streets and gangs a place where money is not a problem. There is obviously no need to give money to a child who should pushing themselves to learn because the education that they receive will help them become a stronger student. Instead of giving money to the children we should put them in after school programs which will lead to helping them focused on long term goals. These students need to be taught that no matter what predicament you are in you can succeed in that area.

Mr. President,

The children of your school need better resources and better training for teachers. The ability of a child's learning lays with the teacher and the teaching ability. Students may not be able to learn because their schools may not have the money to get the supplies they need to help them during class. The teachers themselves may not be trained correctly or they may not be able to teach the subject well. We can fix this problem by giving teachers better training during the summer which will help them know how to cover the topic during class. This topic will help the teachers do not reach the child’s needs. The future is near Mr. President what shall you do….
