According to (Nisen1) Humanities is becoming a long battle in the education industry. Teenagers and even adults are struggling to think and write clearly. I agree with Nisen that secondary and Primary education is a problem because k-12 humanities teachers are not as well trained as STEM ones, Federal funding for international education is down 41%, and many college students graduate without being able to write clearly.
Secondary and Primary teachers are not as well trained as those of STEM (Nisen 1). In elementary school, students are taught to write in cursive.

When an assignment is given, a teacher gives a rubric that a student has to follow and that student will only get graded based on what the rubric states.

The world needs to see what big problem students are having today with thinking and writing clearly. In order to have teachers be consisting and teach students the material they need to succeed in writing, funding for humanities needs to increase. Teachers need the same far training that STEM teachers are
