Explain Why We Should Not Go To School

Improved Essays
As of right now we are not deciding where our tax dollars go. The Government just takes our money and does away with it as they see fit. However, what if you got the opportunity to write them and tell them how the money should be spent. Should our tax dollars go towards education, national health care, or the military? I believe the money should go towards education. One thing tax dollars could go towards in education is keeping schools clean. Students should not be going to school in a filthy, verminous building. Monthly pest control visits where the whole school gets treated need to be paid for. More than once have I seen a roach in a school building and it is disgusting. It distracts me from paying attention because once I see the pest, I have to keep my eye on it to find out where it’s going. Then, there needs to be maintenance staff, such a janitor, to keep the school clean in general to keep students healthy. Another thing tax dollars could go towards in education is security. Schools should have the highest quality security system there is to keep harmful people out of the school. The student’s safety should be the number one priority anyway. A few extra police officers would be helpful as well to supervise students. That way, if a fight breaks out, police officers can step in and stop other students from being harmed.

There is already enough pandemonium going on with national health care that more money going towards it would be a waste. There is also already enough war going on that it would just cause more conflict if more money were to go towards the military. Children are our future, which means they need to best they can get so they can become the best that they can be. And for them to get a superlative education requires money. Tax dollars are the easiest and quickest money the government can get to pay for the things our future generation needs in

    More one-on-one meetings with students, individualized lessons, and different teaching methods could all be promoted by a budget increase. The key, though, is to use the money wisely. Education, as it is now, and as it may become, ideally promotes general welfare by equipping people with the tools they need to survive. It also promotes liberty by putting them in positions to do what they want with their lives. Either Transportation (2.7%/$103 billion – Document D) or Homeland Security (1.5%/$60 billion – Document D) could be shaved to buff Education, the reasoning being that we already have working transportation, and that certain parts of…

    Public school funding has been an ongoing issue for years. No matter how wealthy the district is, there can be an issue for all when the funds are not distributed fairly. Without enough funds from the government, schools cannot provide adequate supplies for the classroom, cannot provide sufficient transportation cost and cannot pay salaries to those involved in the school district such as teachers and administration. Public school funding also helps provide reduced and free meals to students who qualify. What a lot of people don’t know is where all of this money is coming from and who is paying for it.…

    With the current American Constitution, there are three criteria of eligibility to hold the position of President of the United States according to Article 2 Section 1. These criteria are that the President must be a natural born citizen to the United States, must be at least 35 years of age, and must hold at least 14 years of residency within the United States. While these qualities are important to finding the right individual to be the head of the executive branch, the current era that we live in requires more than this because of the imminent threat of terrorism and necessity for military action. There should be an additional requirement for presidency; therefore, I propose that an amendment requiring the President to have military experience should be added to the Constitution. Although seemingly restrictive since not all past presidents have had military experience themselves, I see this…
