twelve major religions and over 1,200 around the world (Wilson, 2006, p.11). Having religion included in the public school system is one of the most difficult issues to debate. When should the separation of church and state come into play? The fact that not everyone holds the same religious faith brings up the question of whether religion should be either public or privatized in schools.

themselves. Some schools are facing financial troubles with the current economy, and one of the first programs they consider cutting is fine arts. The removal of fine arts programs would be absolutely devastating to countless members of the community. Many students would lose their favorite class, in some cases the one class that helps them get through the day, and many teachers that truly care fir the students would lose their dream jobs. Fine arts should not be cut from schools; they build confidence

type of school students attend, organized prayer is mandatory, allowed, or banned. In the United States, organized prayer in public schools is prohibited because it goes against the Constitution’s separation of church and state (Jinkins 123). The United States promises religious freedom, but is yet to define the degree and limitation of that liberty. However, American citizens have been debating for many years, whether organized prayer should be an option or obligation in public schools. Some people

your money at work.  Do you want your money to go to fund private religious schools?  Tax dollars should not fund religious education because it is a violation of the separation of church and state clause of the first amendment to the constitution. Lately we have seen proposals for vouchers.  These vouchers are public money given to low income family so they may send their kids to private schools.  Most of the schools who use this program are religious.  In the Cleveland voucher program we see

Why private school? Does this help students or is it just an expensive alternative. The private school has not been around much longer than public school, and over time, the private school system has become much larger and more developed.

The public schools in the Northeast US received more funding than schools in the Northwest or in the South. This contrast was due to the differing amount of urbanization in the three regions, the Northeast being the most urban and the Northwest and South being more rural. The varying levels of city versus rural living created different political, economic, and social climates which contributed to the amount of public school funding. The distribution of support for different political parties partially

more money on its schools. The author argument is based on unsubstantiated presumptions, which are not supported by relevant evidences, namely the fact that both cities have equal number of students and the main factor of the success of educational process is perfect financing. First, the author consider that funding is the basic attribute that identify the level of education in public schools. It is doubtful that the quality of education depends only on the large funding for schools. The assertion

As Michael A. Resnick, associate executive director for advocacy and issues management at the National School Boards Association, writes, “Public education means a tuition-free, publicly funded system that must provide an education to each child in a neighborhood school within a publicly governed school system.” If tuition is defined as the cost to attend, then this statement is technically true.

The main reason for the move was a better education. Augusta has different schools in each area of the city. More academic opportunities are available in the higher social class neighborhoods. My mother wanted those same opportunities for me. In moving to a safer, higher class neighborhood, my single mother made several sacrifices

disaster for a country and the future of it’s economy. Two common issues in education are the preference of the family and the cost. The high cost of obtaining a private education often times forces those in lower incomes to send their children to public school with almost no real choice in where the children attend.
