In the United States, all individuals from birth through adulthood deserve an excellent education. As an educator myself, I not only instill my belief in each of my students, but aid them both through financial means and advisement in their pursuit of their dreams. When one member of a family succeeds, the entire family is improved, which is followed by the neighborhood, community, etc. It is to each of our own benefit to actively facilitate education.

I think that it is a privalige and a gift, but that it should be garunteed by government and that it should be free.

Without education you are not able to live up to your greatest potential. Bigthink Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:32:22 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/policy-politics/education/1442/#3161
