The Democratic Party is proud of its accomplishment in the field of education and has supported further changes in educational policy and standards. Due to the success of the Head Start program, which has been initiated by the Democratic Party, we propose to increase funding to promote early childhood education. Another program that deserves further attention is promotion of after-school programs in all school districts, thereby providing children of working families a safe environment.

There is definitely a need for some type of education. In my school, students would start school at the age of five, and go until they are at least eighteen. They school would also have a different schedule every day, so students don’t get tired of the same classes

As we all know, education is a necessity to be successful in the playing field of life. Sadly, however, not all children are able to receive the education they need. SDG 4 can help to alleviate this problem. At the local level, free daycare, preschool, and educational programs can be offered to ensure children are properly prepared for the education requirements that lie before them, and building updated learning facilities assure that children feel safe and comfortable, resulting in an increased capacity for learning. On a national level, the federal government can help fund these new buildings and programs, as well as

Merriam-Webster defines the word apathy as a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, or concern. The FY16 Chief Petty Officer Selects, however, feel that there is more to this word. Pure apathy is the personal choice of removing any and all shred of interest or concern to a particular person, place, or thing. This individual choice can be depicted in a variety of ways. One of these ways is doing just enough to get by, or flying under the RADAR, as some may put it. This type of behavior can be extremely dangerous for many reasons, one of the biggest reasons is that it could lead to someone losing their life. For instance, the job of a Cryptologic Technician is to gather vital, time-sensitive information that front line

Many of these children, however, do not get the chance at an education during the most important years of their lives. They are being deprived of learning basic social skills, along with reading and writing, which are essential qualities that are needed as they advance in school. The future of this country lies in the hands of our children. In our lifetime, we have seen chaos and tragedy occur within the borders of the United States, and leaders that have done nothing to prevent it from happening again. In order for our children to be the groundbreakers of society and help our country move forward, they need an educational foundation. Together, we will make Head start and Pre-K universal programs, readily available to any child. Giving each and every child the opportunity to learn, explore, and discover will help our country

Despite the evidence advocating for the effectiveness of these programs, some people still have some misgivings of the benefits. In “Pre-K’s Promise vs. the Actual Evidence” by David J. Armor, it is said that early education is unimpactful

Parents living in poverty may have a diploma however the children are not getting the same quality education as children in wealthier areas. This also contributes the economic gap presented throughout lower rung neighborhoods. Children with lower quality educations are less likely to succeed in school. Inferior education is social injustice and the school system can improve upon this by taking government monies and investing in impoverished areas. Leveling the playing field with educational programs is a start , early intervention program must be put into place as soon as a child is born, but the intervention needs to be done before the child is three(Schippers,

will help them to go back to school. There equal opportunities to be educated and

An article which discusses these particular causes of apathy is “A Multivariate Explanation of Decreasing Turnout in Presidential Elections, 1960-1976” by Stephen Shaffer (1981). He explains that people throughout this time period lacked political interest, and became less reliant on intellectual news sources that would help them to depress political ignorance and understand the state of politics (Shaffer, 1981, p.69). Further, due to weak party ties and lack of political efficacy, less and less people began to care about voting (Shaffer, 1981, p. 69). When one lacks a reliable news source to find political information, they will not understand the current state of affairs or feel they cannot trust the information being delivered to them. Furthermore, partisanship runs the American political system; often when discussing politics one will hear people identify as either Republican or Democrat. However, with a lack of reliable information, and distrust in the politicians who identify with either party, it is difficult to identify oneself with a side. An article from 2015 by Robert Foa and Yascha Mounk titled “Across the Globe a Growing Disillusionment with Democracy” further discusses these issues. The article reveals that “…a Gallup tracking poll shows that trust in the presidency and in the Supreme Court stands at historic lows — while faith in Congress has plummeted so far that it is now in

Churches are private and considered non-profit organizations. Many couples choose to marry in their church, and their priests are their ministers. Certainly, the ruling on this case will create tensions between these organizations and the government. Before, ministers had the right to turn down offers of officiating weddings if they didn’t agree with the couple’s lifestyle

Education reform, the goal of changing public education for the better, has been an idea in the minds of officials and parents since the 1800’s. There have been many effortful attempts to create effective school reform, however, many of them do not address major social issues such as poverty which must be dealt with. Although many reforms have changed our country, none have brought the amount of change necessary to make our schools fit to fairly and thoroughly educate each and every student.

(Rokosa)” Many reasons for children repeating grades is because they are at a large disadvantage. One disadvantage is “In fact, 10 states still have no publicly funded preschool programs of any kind (Rokosa).” If a parent cannot afford to send a child to preschool how would the parent be able to afford books, and materials to educate the child? “Various studies determine that on average, society sees a return of $7 for every $1 invested in early childhood education programs Rokosa).” Therefore, America is getting a six-dollar profit, so no money given to early childhood programs is a waste: All programs are benefits not just for the children but for America. “There was a study done in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the students in the study were preschoolers and children at risk (Rokosa).” “This study showed, more successful in academics than the control group by age 19, and they also developed stronger social skills and looked forward to greater economic prospects (Rokosa).” The experts took the study even further and learned “By age 27, participants boasted lower arrest rates, higher income levels, and greater rates of high school completion. (Rokosa)” “The benefits only grew as the participants aged, the researchers estimated that over the course of the participants’ lifetimes every $1 invested in early childhood education programs yielded more than $17 in returns to society

Based off the current policy with the education system that states kids are required to be in school up until the age of 16, a change that would be made with this proposal would make it so everyone would be required to have completed through the 12th grade and they can determine whether they want to continue their studies thereafter. Approximately 85% of high school students graduate from high school and 22% of them pursue a college education and graduate with a degree, but these numbers are slowly increasing. A problem America faces is that not all schools receive the same amount of funding towards certain programs and they don’t have adequate facilities like any schools in the upper middle-class areas compared to schools in lower income areas. To get make this happen there will need to be a fund that goes strictly towards education and facilities so all students have the available assets no matter where they are from. This change is not going to happen overnight, it will take time for everything to be set

The most important issue facing the world today is still education. We may think that everyone in the United States has an education because of public schools which provide free education. But, that is not true, because around 1.2 million students drop out of high school every year in the U.S. At a worldwide scale, around 31 million students drop out of elementary school in 2012. In addition to that, around 70 million kids in the world don’t have an education in 2010.
