  2. I think the state government should be in charge of fixing our nations education system because if it
    were to be in the federal governments hands, each state wouldn’t have the attention it needs. The
    federal would be trying to look at the country as a whole and not the states individually. The state
    officials would only be in charge of one state, which means that state would have the personal
    attention. Also, because the state officials know that state, meaning knows what exactly should be
    done. I agree that there should be a deadline for a certain growth in reading and math, because those
    areas need to be improved. If the schools don’t want to be hurt, educate the kids. The state officials
    should be in charge of fixing education so each state will have the attention it needs.

  3. I think the state government should be in charge of fixing our nation's education because as Rasheed said" really doesn't pay close attention to children’s education. Also I do agree with Ciera about that should be a deadline for reading and because those areas need to improve. For example some or most schools do not have very educated teachers who can teach the students everything they need to know about reading and math. There for the government can high qualified and educated teachers to teach students well. With the high qualified and educated teachers students can have excellent knowledge and a brighter future. If schools don't improve in reading and math the school can be shut down, meaning that the school will be closed down and teachers will be fired. Also if schools down improve in reading and math student will have failure to learn anything about reading and math, meaning that in college the students will not be able to read and or understand math. If do not know anything about those 2 core subjects you will probably fail college, not graduate from college, and will not have a bright and successful future. This is why I think state government should be in charge of fixing our nation's education.

  4. I think the state government should fix our nations education and lie to the federal government. I believe this because if the federal government isnt doing anything,than the state government has to take things into their own hands. They just cant stand there and do nothing. Something has to be done whether or not the state is going to do something about it or if the federal is going to do something about it. First things first you have to think about the children and how this is going to affect their education and everyday life. You have to think about thier reality and futures because out here you see kids on the streets getting into situations that no one should have to handle.Men, women, and even children are dying and we need some one who will be strong enough to fix this. We need a better world not just for us, but the people that will come after us and even after than. For people not to understand or have no consituration or sympathy what so ever need to understand that there needs to be a change soon or our wolrd can change forever.

  5. I think that the state government should be in charge of changing our education systems. I also think that they should want to change it because its their kids that go to these schools to. So I think that the government should help us improve because we need help. We need help comprehending things. We also need help with our main subjects in school.

  6. I think that the state government should because as one of the people said that the federal government has no business telling the states how to educate our children. The state government should be in charge of fixing the education problem because it involves the state and not the whole country. The federal government could say something about the country's education but not just a single state.

  7. I would say the state government should be in charge of fixing our nation's education because they are more focused on what subjects matter. I agree with Journey and Cierra there should be a dead line because students should actually put forth effort for those two subjects

  8. I would let who ever can deal with the education, because if the state can`t give the schools supplys and keep the building up to data. How can they deal with the educational needs,if congress won`t do anything.Let the president due what needs to be done for the students of united states.

  9. I believe that they should do anything to make our education systems better.The "No Child Left Behind " law should have not been a law because if you cant meet up to the standards of a law than you shouldn't have it.I believe also that it is a failure because if you can't help the children with their education, congress needs to do something about it.The main thing is I believe that the congress shouldn't be in charge because they have failed in their mission to succeed with the children.

  10. I agree with jessica because they really should give us the same exact education that many other people have when they've gone off to college.I also think that many of the public schools should get the same education just like many private schools get.The federal government really shouldn't lie about giving us a good education to learn from and be satisfied with what we have on earth to be grateful with.

  11. I think the job of fixing the education system should lie with the state government system because they care about children's education and if they didn't they would lose their job.

  13. The burden of fixing our nation's education system lies with the federal government because the overall school education should make the government and economy want to fix things with the schools to the natio's economy.

  14. I think the burden of fixing our nations education should lie within the federal government. I say this because they messed up so they should clean it up not the state government. If the state government was in charge of their own education all students would not have equal opportunities to succeed. Now on the other hand federal government will know what they have to do to improve the education system they know what doesn’t work. They will also come up with one system that’s equal to all students. I also look forward to the federal government lessening there role in education, and allowing each state to abide by there own standards.

  15. I think that the state government should fix the education of children because if the “No Child” law didn’t work then why should we try again with the federal government if you failed the first time. I think state government because the state government has their own way of teaching their students. The state government should fix the education of the students because the state didn’t fail like the federal with the “No Child” law so the state government should handle it.

  16. I think the state government should fix our education and lie to the federal government because every kid should have a bright future. I also think they should lie to the federal government because some children should have the ability to dream. They should lie to the government because it's too many children on the street and not in the books. Lastly, they should lie to the federal government because they should care about children's future.

  17. I think the state government should be in charge of fixing our nation’s education system because the state government would meet the states’ needs better than the federal government. The federal government would look at the country as a whole and not the states as individuals. The federal government won’t give the states the proper attention that is needed to improve our nation’s education system. If the state government is in charge, they will only focus on their states’ education system. The state government would know exactly what needs to be done. There should be a deadline for certain growth in math and reading because those areas need improvement.

  19. I think the states government should br in charge of fixing th education system because they know what is happening in their state. Also, because the federal goverment can't take care of all the problems in the system for all the states.Like what Crystal said, the federal goveerment won't give the proper attention that the state would need. The state goverment has the time and only has to tend to the states problems.

  20. I think the the federal plan is good because they can she how the students progresed and what they need to work on.I also agree with many of the students when they say the states know what is occuring with their student's education.The states can also provide more attention to the subject.

  21. I think that the federal plan is a very good idea to bring into effect. If the state government has been begging for responsibility then they should have it. Students in below average (or "failing") schools will be able to get all of the information they need to become sucessful (that is, if they want to learn). In addition to that, it will motivate teachers to provide more, if not better, instruction so that their students can become more productive and competitive in school. In this way everyone will get a better, more equal education no matter what school they go to.

  22. MarquisT. I think the state government would be more suitable because they know more about their specific states learning abilitys they also know about there states, education funds, they also know how far their educational level can expand I agree with Gabrielle when she said that "The state government has the time and only has to tend to the state problems".Meaning that the state government only has to tend to one states problems.

  23. I think that education sholud lie in the government because education is very important and our life depends on it. It determines what kind of job we get. The government should start worrying about educating children so that they can have a bright future. The government also needs to expand the school day and update the learning systems for a better education.

  24. I think that the burden of fixing our nation's education should lie on the state government because it would invlove the state's problem. Another reason is because people expect the state to fix these problems. Another reason is because the state government should start caring about the education that children get.

  25. I think that the fixing of our nation should be the burden of the state government. This should be because the nations consists of states and I say that all the governors of each state should come together and make a plan to fix our country.

  26. I think that the burden of the state government. I think this because I the ones who take cares of each state should take more control of how their school systems work and how they run. I think this because they should be all the same the amount of teaching that every person should in every state. I think that they should have rules that are almost the same Providence St. Mel school.

  27. i think the federal government should because because in order to be safe our street have to be well protected. People don't want want out side but that would not happen if the government and MAKE SOME LAW so we can have our Foredoom and ALL OF OUR RIGHT IN THIS WORLD.

  28. I think state government should be in charged because the federal doesn't really pay . Also the program of ''No child gets left behind'' is failing and it won't do any good to the students who need to improve their grades.

  29. I think that they should look at the child's education instead of looking at something else that is not important.That is why they should they should be in charge.
