Throughout the country, school funding shortages have become a big concern, preventing students from getting the good quality education that they deserve. Many public schools are having a hard time providing basic resources to students due to the lack of funds the school receives. This leaves students and teachers in difficult situations, like having too many students in one classroom or using outdated textbooks. So join while Connor Goodwin talks about what this topic means to him and how it affects him personally.

        2. What do school funding shortages mean to you?

“It means that we will not have enough resources to last all the school year due to lack of funding.”

         3. How does this topic affect the quality of education you get?

“This affects me because in some classes we do not have enough resources for every student.”

         4. What changes do you think need to be made in order to fix this problem?

“I believe the government should step in and make sure we have enough funding to make it through each school year without a lack of materials in the classrooms.”

This means that in order to have growth in the topic of school funding shortages, schools need help from people that can give help and be able to provide for the school, so schools have good resources and are able to provide students with many different types of sports or club activities for after-school. Being able to provide for your school is the key to having a good education system and showing your students that you care for them. Schools should also get more money, so the staff can get paid more due to the lack of income the staff receives for a yearly salary. These are some of the many reasons that school funding shortages should change and be able to have more for the staff, teachers and students.
