Budget Cuts Rachel Handy RES/341 May 30, 2011 University of Phoenix Budget Cuts Recently there have been numerous budget cuts within the school systems. The budget cuts have been nationwide and have affected numerous individuals who work within the school system.

The author created a survey to collect primary data regarding the budget cuts, which include categorical and quantitative variables. This analysis will discuss the information of the survey.
Mann thought that education was a right that was passed on from generation to generation. Denying children this right was horrible to Mann. Today in the United States, education of the public is seen as a right and is partaken in by countless young people every year. Horace Mann thought that if children were taught well they would make good government officials. Mann thought that schools must emphasize moral, civic, and cultural values.
Why We Should Save Secondary School Sports Programs Abstract In the past 10 years or so high school institutions have been forced to make budget cuts. This has resulted in high school athletic programs being cut completely in some cases. While budget has much to do with the recent crisis, academics play a large role as well. The world of academia has taken center stage and more pressure than ever is being put on teenagers to excel at high levels in this realm. Some have argued that time spent in athletic activity cuts away from study time.
Should university fees be abolished The world is at a massive economic crisis right now, making it vital every decision we make as a nation from here on out should not be judged on fairness but should be judged on practicality and what is best for our country to thrive upon long-term in: business, sports and education. We have to start thinking ahead, long term rather than short term. We are not a third world country; we are a proud and fearless nation, a nation that overcame Hitler’s army and faced complete devastation afterwards rations were given to families to: feed themselves, cloth themselves and water themselves. For any other countries it would have taken years to come out of that poverty and at such a crucial time as well technology had started; phones, computers all of which were coming out, did Britain miss out on these and show itself as a pour country. No!
Schools are in part, at fault for this problem. It seems that now, more than ever, funding has become an issue of dire importance. With the increasing burden of NCLB, schools are trying to make the most of every penny while the tax payers are more scrutinizing of every penny spent. Mismanagement of funds has become a common occurrence and there is not a shortage of stories in the papers every week about the subject. Also, potential woes from poor management and poor choices only hurt the students.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States prohibits states from denying any person "the equal protection of the laws." Unfortunately, as Jonathan Kozol explains “The truth, unhappily, is that the trend, for well over a decade now, has been precisely the reverse. Schools that were already deeply segregated twenty-five or thirty years ago are no less segregated now, while thousands of other schools around the country that had been integrated either voluntarily or by the force of law have since been rapidly re-segregating...” (Kozol 618), Segregation of race within our education is worsening every year, ruining the lives of young children by trapping them in a hole they can’t get out of. By disregarding segregation and an epidemic, our Nation has created a false front that pretends to treat its people with equality and fairness. However, by just deconstructing the segregation of one town from the thousands in California it has been made incredibly clear that segregation is an American way of life.
Causes of Failing in the educational system It is unfortunate that now in such an advance era, the educational system is not a strong point in society and continues to fail. Education is one of the most important steps in creating a life in this social age. There are several reasons the educational system could be failing in showing importance in a student’s life. Some of the main reasons believed to be for a failing educational system are: funding, accountability, and “one size fits all” curriculum teaching. To begin with, Funding for the educational system is greatly based on the local property taxes in the area of a public school, and is one major cause of failing public schools, due to unequal funding and lack in necessary instructive and learning tools.
When I was watching Romney’s debates, he was talking about “Obamacare” is not good idea and his one could be better, but I agreed to what Obama had to say and he had some strong moments, particularly when he criticized Romney's plan to turn Medicare into a voucher-like program and noted that "Romneycare" looks an awful lot like "Obamacare." I agree with the President Obama that he's not only thinking about now he is thinking about future. Us students who need good teachers and good technology - without these things we cannot succeed. People should remember what reality is and think practically. They just cannot come and tell that they will cut taxes and provide cheap healthcare programme for
Due to budget cuts to public schools, those extracurricular programs in those schools are the ones taking the biggest hit out of each of the programs. There are many parents who believe that taking their children out of public schools and putting them into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), pathway schools because it is more beneficial to their students overall learning. The argument is that in order to perform better on standardized testing in schools the arts are not as important and should not take president over core classes and they
The former Education Secretary Michael Gove said the government would reform the system: "The system that we have inherited is very damaging. It is unfair for children and it is harming the economy.” The most thorough and generally accepted investigation commissioned by ministers is The Wolf report1 which was completed in March 2011. The review conclude that the vocational and further education is not good enough and recommends a radical shake-up. According the report, the current funding system encourages colleges to put students through a lot of qualifications - but not to continue to improve their core skills in English and maths if these are lacking. Professor Wolf says funding for
