Arizona Education

Quality Education

I would like to project the positive regarding some issues found in an Arizona newspaper article. For once it doe not matter where a child lives in Arizona to receive a quality education. This blog is reporting a former Intel CEO, Craig Barrett and current chairman of Gov. Brewer's Arizona Ready Education Council, we can no longer countenance our country placing 17th and 30th respectively in language and math skills behind such countries as China, South Korea, and Poland (Molera, 2013, Jan 13).

Further, for this effort to succeed, Jaime Molera reminds us there has to be a balance in the funding for K-12 grades. Arizona needs reform, otherwise any significant increases will go for naught. Without policymakers putting the Common Core into every school and each child's education; our school system will fail our students of a bright future.

The AP Environmental Science Teacher from Flagstaff High School, Jeff Taylor, agrees that anything can help our system because the rating is currently ranked at 49th place in student spending and 50th place in pupil spending, and 49th in teacher's pay.

Lastly, our state needs more educational opportunities such as media in the classroom and healthy breakfasts and lunches. Our children deserve the best and with nutrition their brain can think, absorb more of the teachers' instructions, and their body will be strong to stand tall and proud of their accomplishments.
