Initial Response to Education

Education has been a vital part of America's history and will continue to greatly impact America throughout all of time. Throughout all of America, in present day, children and teenagers are denied the right to a proper education. With some of America's youth being denied the right to proper knowledge it causes problems for the future. It becomes a cycle by poorly educated parents, in most cases, raises their kids in poorly educated areas. Last night in President Obama's State of the Union Address he discussed the education issue in America. He presented the idea that education in America needs to be different. President Obama said "the best anti poverity program around is a world class education". If America can provide an equal and a better education for all youth then a lot of the problems America has in the future would be solved. This meaning that if America can have a general knowledge of education then issues like poverty can begin to work itself out. If the future of America can succeed from the beginning there will be few citizens who do not follow through to succeed in the future. Education is something that always has been valued as a important part our American society, but throughout history has been given and taken away. These are the reasons that I find education to be interesting and to start to see why societies value and treat education differently.
