Education

Education is one of the most sensitive topics our country deals with on a daily basis. There is no doubt that a decent education can build a great foundation for a future workforce. The issue at hand is whether or not the schools should be operated by the government. For years the government has failed the students and parents it set out to serve. Waves of graduates from our public school system can hardly grasp some of the most elementary mathematical concepts or write coherent sentences. One proposed solution has been to privatize the schools so that the government is no longer involved in the process of training students anymore. Listed below are articles that provide useful information on the education debate.
