Today many of our politicians go by the saying that it is easer to build prisons than to build new schools with many school districts in our nation not having built a new school in 25 to 30 years this is in deed a sad shame and an insult to our nation.

The high school drop out rate is sky rocketing once again and our politicians in Washington D.C. are not addressing that fact and looking into why the drop out rates in our schools are going up. I can tell you why they are going up and it for the reason that students feel harassed, being bullied and the fear of retaliation from not only other students but by administrators as well.

While I feel no child left behind is working and the results are proving that fact I also believe that it is way under funded and that we must demand that No Child Left Behind is funded better. We must also pass in to law pay raises of a professional pay rate for all teachers in our Public schools I Know it sounds liberal but I tell you that it is not its just good business.

We also must address the fact that we need special education reform I have to tell you that while I was in school I was indeed in Special Education and some of the schools would rather not deal with special education and rather see special education students drop out than to succeed in school they would also rather segregate these students so that all other students know who is special education and who is not and this practice has to end now. Special education students are not dumb special education students are not stupid and all and all special education students are vary smart and intelligent.

So as Americans I ask you to think about the education system here and lets start a true debate on what education is now and what we want it to be with out the people involved in this process it is sad to say we will see no major changes in the education system we will see more of the same.
