    As a student who is also dedicated to the arts, I strongly believe that incorporating the fine arts into public education is vital to providing the best learning environment for everyone involved with the public school system.

For example, having an acting class in the midst of the long school day would provide the student…

    "Youth are the future" a simple saying that has rang true and been repeated throughout the generations. If this is believed to be true then why are we underfunding our future? Reports, on educational funding, consistently reveal how uneven and unfair public school funding is throughout states across the country. While this underfunding of states does need to be addressed as a whole the easiest way to to see a change is to do so on a state level. Connecticut needs to enact a fair and evenhanded…

    The public education system in the United States of America serves as a modem for preparing our youth to enter the complex adult world. Schools ensure the advancement of all students regardless of race, sex, or social class. Not one child is ever “left behind” in our schools.

    I think back to the year 2003. It was my first time stepping foot into a public school. All of my life up until my transition into public school education was spent comfortably in a private school with friends and teachers whom I grew up with from kindergarten to seventh grade. That day started a battle that I would continuously have with myself for seven grueling years. As an extrovert, the pain of feeling like I could not be my true self was excruciating. The constant feeling of rejection,…

    before compulsory public schooling, are estimated to be around 90% to 98%. Men such as Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), and Frederick Douglass were able to educate themselves and move on to contribute greatly to society without the benefit of public education in any form, as did most Americans in that era(Sowell, Inside 18-24,27).

    The aim of the public education system in today’s society has been to create a typical student, but this priority must change. Over the years, students have been failed by the curriculum that they are taught because the idea of learning has not evolved with the world in which we live. Educators have diminished the abilities of students by standardizing the system, which has been proven not to work for everyone. Students are often required to memorize and to regurgitate material rather than use…

    and education have always been exceedingly important to me, from the very beginning. Over time, I have come to love education for myself, and appreciate the many doors it opens for a stable future. So, it has always been troubling to me when I come across students of my own age and race- who don’t share that same appreciation. Of course, people aren’t always going to enjoy the mind crashing labor that comes with school- but I figured that there would at least be some level of regard for public…
