Education System In The United States

The Education System

Here in the United States we have an education system. This system is supposed to be the greatest on earth, unfortunately it is not. Now there are several contributing factors to why we might have a flawed education system. One, the United States is so war hungry that they decide to take from youth education to fund it. This leads to teachers who should be paid well, but are not. This drains the excitement they once had to become a teacher to help and teach children and young adults.

Sure I still plan to go to college, but only when I either save up enough money to afford it on my own, or if it somehow becomes affordable in the future.
