The lack of education in america

  Education plays a major role in our society since its one of the main components of succeeding in life. Someone’s success can sometimes be determined by the quality of their education. The better the quality of someone’s education, the higher the chance they would have to succeed in life. Therefore, the quality of someone’s education can affect the performance of the students .In fact, students who attend school in the suburbs scored higher on tests compared to those students in urban city public schools. This difference in scores can sometimes be partially due to the lack of resource in these public schools, which directly affects student’s achievements as well as their learning. Therefore, the students who go to suburb schools will most likely have a better success in life then the student from public school due to the difference in the quality of their education.
     This following video illustrates the result of poor education and how it drastically affects not only kids, but also our society. Students who do not receive a proper education in school are more likely to Drop out since they have no motivation and feel as if continuing school is useless. These students then end up taking a wrong path in their life and end up in jail or even pregnant.


     As you just saw in the video, the lack of education can cause many bad outcomes to come out from it since a lot of the people who become either pregnant or early criminals usually are drop outs.  These drop outs can be managed by making each school district more equally funded. This will provide students rich and poor an equal education system nationwide. I believe that if we give each school the same amount of money that it is needed to properly function, poor students will have a less chance of dropping out and a higher chance of being successful in life, because the quality of their education will improve.
