What about us ?

Once again, the news is exploding with the issue of education. More schools in NYC are closing either because of the deficit in the education system or because they can't maintain their grades up. What is education coming to? There are hardly any schools in third world countries but somehow kids over there are educated a tad bit more than we are in certain aspects. So why is that the government finds it so easy to support out military to raise the number of casualties in other countries but not educating the younger generations to create a better future? There needs to be a total 360 turn on this issue because students not only in elementary, secondary, and high schools pay enough through the taxes of their parents but college students are paying more than average to find out that the government cares more about killing than education.
