Ways to Make the Education System Better
Politicians desperately need to put more money into the education system. Without money for education, kids lack the education they need to survive in the real world as adults. More teachers need to be hired who are very good, and are qualified to work in all neighborhoods around the country. Smaller classes in all schools are a good benefit, because the students will be able to concentrate and learn. All schools should have tutors in all classrooms so that the students will always have access to help whenever needed. Sadly many kids are falling behind academically, because many schools lack tutors, and have very few teachers. To be able to help the kids who fall behind academically we need to provide them with extra help with their academics. Every school in every state and district needs to involve parents, and in some cases parents need help themselves to be able to help their kids succeed successfully in their academics, which in return will help them throughout their lives. Good education creates doctors, lawyers, politicians, and so on. Without a good education these kids don't have a fair chance.

Kids and Summer Slide
Every year a handoff from teacher to parent leaves a child with a powerful chance. They can either play their parents and teachers as fools or they can continue learning. Most kids want to laze away summer vacation on the couch playing video games or watching cartoons. If parents are lucky outside play time can be unforced. Still, this doesn't help the child retain what they learned while in school.
