Eliminate Animal Dissection
From 170 different species, millions of these helpless creatures are being dissected in schools each year. The American Anti-Vivisection Society states, in one year, over 12 million animals are used in high schools alone. Some of the most commonly used animals are frogs, mice, rats, worms, cats, rabbits, baby pigs, dogs, and cows. Most schools and universities purchase these species when they’re already dead, but they were killed to be dissected. Many of these animals are purchased through slaughterhouses and fur farms, but animals like cats are purchased from "Class B" dealers who take animals from shelters or "free to good home" ads. In other countries, cats are purchased in Mexico, then killed by drowning or slitting their throats, then sent to the US. In some facilities, they put the frogs in bags while they're still alive, killing them by suffocation. Some rats are embalmed while they're still alive. This is animal torture and abuse. These animals are deprived from a real life and raised to do what? Be cut open for 30 minutes and then thrown away.

School Counselors
I'll never understand judging one persons thoughts on being sad. We all get depressed. There's no judgment in that. So if we all get depressed sometimes, why do we get pushed into categories about how we should deal with it. I don't think the world should be like that. And I also think, in every single school, there should be a better counselor. I've had a real bad experience with that.

Raising Greatness
When my son started kindergarten my son was struggling, just like some of the other children in his class. I thought he was just nervous to be starting something so new. The first year of school jitters, so as an educator, I assumed it was completely normal and I didn't put much thought into it. As he progressed to the first grade, I watched my son try, but struggle. Every subject seemed to be a dreadful experience for him. It seemed to become harder and harder as the school year progressed, and things became much harder for him in the classroom. He had been tutored and also received an intervention. Help was provided regularly, but he seems to still have a really hard time.

Why Underfunding is Hurting Education
Funding can be a problem when money is not allocated properly. Some areas can get over funded while other areas do not have enough money to provide essential items for their students or participants. Schools can be one of the places that are not able to have enough funding to provide learning resources for students. This can take a toll on parents, teachers, students and even taxpayers. Underfunding can put a stress on the community and can create a lot of tension and fighting if funding issues are not resolved.
