The answer can be found in deficit thinking in the education system.

A system that portrayed the idea that student’s minds needed to be filled with the wisdom, insight, and knowledge provided by the teachers.

In the 21st century, the idea of a multicultural classroom seems like normal scenario. Sadly, from my youth…

This may be due to a lack of parental guidance or to disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Attention Deficit Disorder is defined as “a condition in which someone (such as a child) has problems with learning and behavior because of being unable to think about or pay attention to things for very long” (Merriam-Webster.

Plan to Eliminate the Deficit in the Federal Budget The federal budget is a significant issue because it affects a giant number of people, any change could leave thousands and probably more without a job or proper care, or let their infrastructure fall apart. It is a delicate topic that many people have varying but strong views on. I am pretty liberal, but i’m not really sure what my ideal government would look like. However it would include much more equality than is in today’s society. My…
