In a democratic education system, there is a balance of authority between the state, the parents, the individual, and the educators. While each group has their own claim to power over the education of children, there is still the question of who should have the most. This question often comes down to the state or the parents because they are the most complicated and influential.

Arguably teaching is one of the most powerful careers offered to the public today. The impact educators have on their students is insurmountable, possibly lasting the child’s entire lifetime.

Education is very important to ensure a better quality of life for all children. It also makes people aware of opportunities available for them, and the rights that they deserve. It is the key which allows one to acquire skills to become more self-reliant, and ultimately succeed in their life.

When a child does not receive adequate education from a young age, more times than not it traps him or her in a cycle of poverty that they are unable to escape. This is the paramount social issue of our generation. While other issues relating to hunger, homelessness, and healthcare are also important, they are short-term in nature.
