How does the administration expect to improve the success of our educational system when it is not even a mere concern monetarily? (www.fcnl.org,2005). Success within a crumbling system requires money.
In addition to the lack of funding for our nation's next generation, the introduction of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) during President Bush's first term in office is wasting the little 9% of tax dollars that are allocated to education. The administration of the many new exams that are required for schools to take to receive funding take a great deal of money to administer in exam materials, preparation, disbursement, assessment, and reporting of the scores. That does not even take into account the amount of time wasted within the classroom where teachers are merely "teaching to the test." Also, recent research shows that there is naturally only a small percentage of children who are able to succeed in these exams. These exams are set up for children who think with a purely academic sense, not taking into account the many other talents and abilities which a student may possess. Even some of the best schools in the nation are on the failing list, according to the government.
President Bush and his administration...
By only concentrating on potential threats and other nations' problems, the United States of America and its citizens can only stand by and watch the deterioration of the educational system. More money needs to go to the nation's schools in order to be able to compete in an ever-growing globally more intelligent world than our own.
Final Recommendations solution to our nation's failing educational system lies simply in money. Without more money allocated to education, teachers will be unwilling to put in the time and effort required to do the best they possibly can. Students will (and already do) feel that they are uncared for. They can see that their buildings are falling apart and that their books are 10 years out-of-date. By giving more money to schools to improve such things, students will feel more cared for and then more inclined to succeed. Educational politicians need to fight harder for their cause, or else the nation as a whole will continue to suffer.

Since education is a sector that brings many people in society together, any alternatives arrived at should be agreed upon by the majority and common ground reached. Also, because education has different levels in society, the alternatives chosen must be consistent with and align with other alternatives at
" (Anon.) Sentiments, such as these, are widespread. Philosophies such as behaviorism assert that the environment compels the nature of a child. Biological perspectives believe that the child may be evolutionarily ingrained to act in a certain manner. My philosophy is that the educator is a necessary component in a child's life and that, as remarkable educators have taught us again and again -- such as Marva Collins who created her own
