Education is Key for Success

On Wednesday, July 15, 2015 the Texas Tribune published an article titled Analysis: Schools Changing, and Not How You May Think. 

Public schools in Texas have seen a drastic change in political, social, and economic standpoints. The Texas Education Agency has seen a major increase in school populations with a large number of the increase coming from economically disadvantaged students. As the number of students attending schools has exponentially risen, so has the percentage of low-income students. This becomes a problem at the legislative level, considering the amount of money used to fund these schools as well as all the changes that are taking place in a short period of time are making it difficult to come to an agreement on what should be done. This article caught my attention considering education is one of the most important aspects of society. If the increase in school populations is coming from economically disadvantage students this means our government is not providing an economically stable state. You will eventually have kids that attend public schools and if these problems keep occurring their education and future could be affected.
