Reading 5/16: Funding

I think higher education is important but it’s hard to say who should really fund it, should it be the government, tax payers or the individual seeking higher education? I think the Government should seek to make public education affordable to all. Affordable education is just a stumbling block in making a person seek better things in life.  Government should seek and find more ways to fund higher education so that society on a whole will be better off for the future. By funding education government will help to decrease poverty in a given society the need of education is necessary or a help factor to help the growth of a neighborhood. We see that in many other countries the government takes full control of the educational system by funding school with the school and home life. Making sure parents get the knowledge they need to guarantee that their children get the best education. It is a shame that the government is taking away funding from schools and parents and students not put up a hard of enough fighter to guarantee a proper education, just move that the path that education is taking in not positive. Teachers and administration and school faculty also have to join together to make sure that children are not cheated out of the right to learn and to be educated.

President Obama is talking about education reform, but with education reform the government both federal and state has to be willing to spend the money in doing things the proper way. We cannot try to reform education without funding and spending a lot of money, but in the end if we start the process now we cannot expect to see a miracle happen today for tomorrow. It will take time but government must be willing to guarantee that funding will not be taken way from schools and that school will get more funding in order to make sure that each child gets the help that is need and that teachers are trained properly to assist in reformation of education.
