Child Care & Education

After I did my research on Australia's school system and how the government funds and handles their education system it really got my thinking about them how the US handles their students, children and education. I feel as though the US can step it up a bit and really focus on what they are doing as a government when it comes to making sure kids get the proper education. People like me who had the opportunity to go too school growing up all my life and having the privilege to learn, but not all kids get that chance. Of course because you have the states shutting closing their doors on certain schools, which puts kids on the street to learn what to be a criminal? "No child gets left behind", right? Then you look at the funding stand point of Australia and their government makes it their priority to make sure all kids get an education, the US you live in some run down town they say they can't afford the funding for but at the same time parents fight for their kids to get an education. Then you look at higher education and that's a whole other scenario. Most of us just don't get enough funding, but we can't get a good job with a high school diploma? Tell me now how does any of that make sense? When you're getting assistance through the state you live in they pretty much pay for your higher education and then puts students like me out working two jobs to put myself through school. I get it professors and teachers have to make a living for themselves to, but an extra $159 million which will then most likely increase out tuition when it already costs an arm and leg just to make up for the pay out. In the end the US just needs to reevaluate their state systems educations across the board and really understand that never kid, child and student has the same thought process, same situation of living, and same skills. "No child left behind", right?
