The Cartel The Cartel shows the educational system like we have never seen it before. The Documentary shed the light on what are the problems with the U.S education and also showed what is causing these problems. It shows what happens when our schools are not doing their job. America spends too much money in education; the government gives billion of dollars every year to the public school districts. But even with all that funding they are not seeing very good results.
In other words, he is carrying over the devastating $1 billion cuts from last year. This will make it impossible for us to climb out of the hole that our districts are in. The right thing for Gov Corbett to do: restore the funding that was taken from our schools in the last budget. Those budget cuts disproportionately hurt poor districts, and without a funding formula and a priority on education, our schools will continue to suffer. We need more funding for basic education.
Who gained from this was our K-12 reform programs (Department. of Education, 2012). If this was so, then why are most of our programs being shut down? It seems like we do not get the full story of what is going on with the program budget and were is all of the money going. They are always raising college tuition to help pay for different programs but, it seems that they are not focusing on the programs for the diverse students that are here in the United States.
One of the most well known ways that the government has gotten us into this shape would be how they take away Medicare and Medicaid from the older generations to increasing the cost to go to college for the younger generation ( Jonus, 2012). The prices of gas and groceries have been on an up rise for years now and are steadily going up. This puts so much stress on the common day American that their trust in the government has diminished. When you turn on the T.V and see these politicians going on big vacations and riding around in nice fancy vehicles you start to wonder to where your hard earned money goes. It is really hard to fully grasp the idea that our government is doing the best for us and to stay calm while our country falters at the seams day by day.
Future of Educational Finance Wendy Gayle, Andrea Hobson, Danielle Kitchener, Amber Hughes Grand Canyon University: EDA 535 April 4, 2013 Future of Educational Finance The future of education finance lies greatly in the hands of the federal government and state legislature. The most current $2.5 billion dollar tax cut, otherwise known as the sequester, is likely to be just one of the large cuts education will be seeing. As these budget cuts are made, state finance is also dealing with constant debates and court cases over supporting nonpublic schools with public tax payer monies by allocating funds to nonpublic or private schools through parent requested vouchers. In determining fairness of
This article is based upon different type of fallacies Beres uses to tell his audience that the Common Application process is a waste of many, and doesn’t give the students what they deserve. He uses Appeal to Ignorance when he talks about how those who have a high SAT score and “mommy and daddy credit card isn’t maxed out”. So what if their parents are working hard for this kids? Appeal to Popular Opinion by saying “kids are taking spots at universities that they may, in fact, have little to no interest in.” How can afford to go to a university that will cost at least 30K to graduate just because they don’t like it? He mentions that’s X amount of Y students got accepted into a particular college, but doesn’t talk about how many percentage of Y actually meet the requirements of their “dream”
For instance, educations seems to be the major problems across the board for many state and local governments. According to Cropf (2008), fiscal disparities between school regions resulting from dissimilarities in property values have led states to compound their share of the financial responsibility for maintaining local public schools. This is a national issues that effects Americans as a whole with no real solution coming from the state and local levels of government. Washington does not want to spread its self to thin dealing with state educational issues that far exceeds Washington’s ability to pinpoint the problem to come up with a real solution that works. The no child left behind education bill was supposed to help state and local government regulate education as a whole, but only made the problems
Also, some districts claim their primary concern is open enrollment programs lack ‘financial’ ability to offset costs associated with hiring additional teachers and staff members (Fowler, 1996). Clearly tax savings are not enough to justify continuance with open enrollment programs, which is evident by the six percent loss in the number of students grades 1–12 attending school in their own residential attendance from 1993 to 2003. Residential Zone Open Enrollment 80% 78% 76% grades 1-12 74% 72% 70% 1993
