My topic is significant to society because public education is something that has been happening for as long as we can remember, many people go to public school and it is a huge, vital part of their lives. But there is an entire plethora of topics to cover over with the corruption of public education. The main issue isn’t completely the teachers that are hired but the state’s rules and the standardized testing, and the disciplinary issues. Not only that but the largely increasing number of children and teenagers being diagnosed with depression and anxiety and how they're suffering in the environment that they're supposed to learn in, and what the school system is and isn't doing to attempt and ‘help’ these individuals.

Teachers call on students or expect them to form oral presentations in front of an entire classroom and judge them based on how they speak and present themselves to the class. Judgement is a horrifying thing for these anxious children. Just the thought of presenting can make someone nauseous and sick to their stomach depending on the severity of their anxiety. Anxiety attacks are becoming more common in schools and they're scary things to have. If you don't know what one is, just imagine being unable to breathe or catch your breath, with a feeling of dread and fear hanging over you, and feeling like you're going crazy or like you're going to die. Some kids can end up passing out from the lack of oxygen, if they don't vomit first. Now, the school isn't always the reason these disorders formed in their students in the first place, but it is up to them to make these children are comfortable in their environment so they can actually obtain the education they were there for in the first place. I would say that the best plan of action would be to make schools less stressful is by lowering the amount of work given out by each class and maybe even perhaps making it possible to have alternative assignments for those uncomfortable presenting in front of others or having much much smaller classes so it's a more close, comfortable
