write a letter to your Assemblyman in your community, informing him at least three problems facing in your school​

Educational issues are a hot topic of debate across America and worldwide. Our school systems are in a constant state of flux and reform, so there is never a shortage of delicate, complex issues worthy of discussion and debate. Providing solid education - from Kindergarten to college - is obviously vital for the future. A well-informed populace is necessary to move humanity forward in terms of social progress, technology, medicine, and more. This is often why education policy issues tend to trigger passionate arguments. We all have an investment in the future, and we all want children and young adults to receive the best educational opportunities possible.  

Some problems with education reflect current political issues and social issues, with problems like income inequality, gender divides, and civil rights issues bleeding into our school systems. The ongoing gun debate affects school safety. The rising cost of higher education shows the increasing class divide in America. Even though parents, students, faculty, and political parties can't agree on how to fix these current problems, we can all agree that reforms around safety, testing, and funding are necessary as we race toward a more technologically-advanced and populated economy.  

What's wrong with education programs today? Which issues need to be tackled immediately? On-campus safety issues? Bullying? Loan-forgiveness? Below is a list of issues surrounding education in America. Vote up the issues you find the most important and urgent.

Sex Education In Schools

Sex Education In Schools

Out of the 24 states that require public schools to teach sex education, only 20 require information be medically, factually, and technically accurate. Should sex education be taught in the classroom at all and - if so - should there be more done to ensure students receive accurate information?

School Choice

School Choice

School Choice allows parents to send students to a school of their choosing rather than one in their district. Advocates say it benefits low income families, giving them more options than those provided by schools in their district. Opponents say the program siphons money away from low-income schools, failing to address larger systemic problems.

Physical Education/Recess

Many modern day factors play a role in the importance of physical education. Child obesity, modern technology, and urban environments are all relevant. But should P.E. be a standardized practice among all kids?

Teacher Wage Increases

Teacher walk-outs and protests around weak wage increases have been dominating east coast school districts. With the rising responsibility on campus to teach multiple subjects, what should wage increases look like for teachers nationwide?

Civil Rights

Civil Rights

It's a topic of conversation extending beyond the classroom, but our educational institutions need to be setting the example. Are classrooms teaching students about current issues surrounding civil rights? And are students of all races receiving equal treatment in the classroom?

School Safety

School Safety

There have been 290 school shootings since 2013 and issues like sexual violence and aggressive bullying also plague classrooms everywhere. While Congress works to pass legislation protecting the nation's students, some feel regulations are not strict enough. How can educational programs work to combat such acts?

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

Recent research shows that SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) is a key fundamental in children's (and adult's) education. SEL focuses on building strong relationships, practicing empathy, decision making, and learning how to manage emotions. Should we be pushing for more SEL in the classroom?

School Discipline Policies

School Discipline Policies

Every school has a code of conduct that each student must abide. But are discipline policies applied in a fair and consistent manner, regardless of race, gender orientation, and other factors?

Rising Cost of Higher Education

Rising Cost of Higher Education

Since 1988, the cost of college has risen 163 percent. Is college really feasible for the average person anymore? What can we do to curb costs and make higher education more accessible?

Charter Schools

Charter Schools

While independently run, free from some regulations, and sometimes operated for profit, Charter Schools remain publicly funded. Some feel Charter Schools provide a better learning experience for students. Others feel Charter Schools are a sign public education is becoming too privatized.

that’s the kind of bug henry was; and if we’d a had him along ’stead of our kings, he’d a fooled that town a heap worse than ourn done.”

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
