english class discussion

Hi everyone,

OK so each week we have a discussion question in a type of forum setting and below is this weeks question and my response. I am putting this on here because i think it has to do a lot with the discussion of this blog.

~Question~

Discussion Question: Harper Lee was not complimentary about public education in this novel. What do you think about the traditional public school system in this country? Why?

~my response~

I think the traditional public school does have its problems but I love insight and that is a public school so the whole public school system isn’t flowed just parts of it. I think the traditional public school system has a few major problems and it think the main cause today is money. money affects a multitude of things. I think that public brick & morder schools have a big lack of funding that makes for not as good school resources, over sized classes, and just a overall problem. One of the big reasons I left my school was because of a lack of funding and voters turning down a tax increase which caused the district to close schools, fire staff, increase class sizes, and use older torn up school books. So to sum up I think the traditional public school system has some problems it needs to address. I think the main problem lays with the voters. I mean to think people will vote down a small tax increase to better education but will vote a majority of yes for a even bigger tax increase to build a new sports stadium. I think it’s sad that our society sometimes elevates sports above education.

OK so that’s my response. If you would like reply with your response to the discussion question or comment on my response if you would like.
