The Importance Of Education In Texas

Decent Essays
Texas has many challenges facing its future related to many issues, but I think that the most important is education. Education is a big challenge now facing texas which does not depend exactly from the school, or teachers, basically depend directly from students. Teenagers now don´t want to realize how their lifes are, and the amazing things they get from it, instead many of us are spoiled because they just don´t care about it. And, I think that the reason is because they maybe haven´t receive a good education throughout their life who encourage them with their studies, as when our parents were young. It´s not the same thing and motivation as the one they had. Teenagers don´t think in its future now, they just go to get whatever it can come,

    From what I have learned in this class as well as what I found through research I have concluded that Texas does not regard within a democracy because of reasons I will depict within this essay. Democracy is a system of government by which the whole population is represented through elected officials. Firstly, when I took a look at the distribution of districts within our state I found that major cities had the most distribution within them but other parts of the state lacked in how districts are separated. This only tells me that in many districts around Texas there is a lack of distribution of leadership that represents the citizens properly. Secondly, we have seen a decline in voting for Texas which entails less voice for the citizens.…

Ever speculate curiously why a place that is known for oil wildcatters and cattle rustlers in the nation’s wind-vitality leader and has thumped Silicon Valley off its cutting edge platform?

    In Lawrence Wright essay, the thesis in “America’s Future is Texas” is that Texas is a politically divided state just like other states of America.

    However, whether the well-being of its citizens is promoted when looking at induvial polices may be a different answer. For example, some people might say saw that Texas policy on education do not help its citizens since Texas is ranked very low on national education.

    Education In Texas

    Texas manages to simultaneously rank among the best and worst in the nation when it comes to education, but only because it excels in some fields and fails in others. An unfortunate side effect of this is that some political leaders in Texas think that budget cuts and funding in regards to education can be used to manipulate their power and political campaigns in order to forward their agenda. Education is a window to future careers; children and young adults should have access to educational services and/or financial aid no matter what income threshold their families come from. According to the tape "House Support for Senate Budget Unlikely" funding for schools were the center of contention between the two houses because the House wants to…

Along with these causes, possible solutions will also be discussed on how to begin to improve the quality of life for impoverished Texans.

    Long before the current situation, Texas had immigration issues but in contrasting form. Immigration in Texas during the 1830s consisted of “white, English-speaking Americans who were looking for a better life in Texas. And the authorities who were trying to keep them out were Mexican” (Root, 2012). Centuries later this situation evolved into the illegal immigration issue that Texas is dealing with today. What makes this situation more of a controversy now than before is the vast numbers of illegal immigrants seeking a new beginning in Texas and the limited economic resources that are available to support them.…

    During a certain period in life, an individual must make the decision to follow the path of an outstanding career or settle with a temporary job. Most people may view a job as the safer choice; however, they do not realize the better life a career has to offer. Essentially, to teenagers making these life decisions, they confirm with a job because it’s quick and easy to get, it requires minimum training, and it serves as a starting point. As for a career, it may seem as years of unnecessary education, it can be physically demanding, and expensive. Although jobs are the easier choice, working towards a career is more beneficial that settling for a typical job because a career provides a variety of additional benefits that cannot be experienced in a job.…
