Why is there a lack of Quality Education for All?
There is a lack of qualified teachers and inadequate teaching materials.
As of 2020, education ranked third among voters' top priorities for the president and congress.
Creating excellent teachers improves student's learning as well as impacts the lives of those students who are already behind their peers because of poverty and structural racism.
Teacher protests and strikes lead to increased support from the public to better fund public education.
Teachers are underpaid and undervalued. Why not value the teaching profession like that of a medical profession with intensive training and respect?
Many teachers have to spend their own money on classroom supplies because the public funds fall short. In the 2014-2015 school year, around 94% of teachers paid out of pocket for classroom supplies.
Education is a driver of prosperity, yet many students are faced with poverty.
By raising the high school graduation rate from 83%-90% in 2015, there was an additional $3.1 billion in earnings for each high school cohort.
Adults with higher education are more likely to vote, donate, volunteer, etc. These in return better the economic well-being financially.
Policies were created at targeting to repair harm to nonwhite students. This created unforeseen economic prosperity and mobility.
Many students have little to zero opportunity to enroll in advanced courses because of low incomes within their home-life.
Without strong federal role, it is easy for local school districts to bring about structural inequality.
Our schools are extremely overcrowded.
There is a statistic that states "14% of U.S. schools exceed capacity."
More funds will bring about the means to offer smaller classroom sizes of students.
Average student-to-counselor ratio is 482-to-1. Nearly double of the recommended ratio, 250-to-1. Making it impossible for students to get the help they so desire.
Class size reduction most likely has the most positive effects on students who are black or from low income families.
Large class sizes reduce a student's ability to pay attention to instruction, while increases a student's behavioral issues.
Proper funding goes hand in hand with the quality of teachers.
No benefit from basic teacher training programs.
If we raise the salary of teachers, there may be a raise in more passionate educators.
The availability of qualified teachers determines the performance of students. Underqualified teachers will have underperforming students.
School administration should ensure that their teachers are getting the proper training and qualifications they need to properly teach their students.
Around 73% of teachers purchased books for their own classroom of students. Teachers should not be expected to purchase books out of pocket. This should be publicly funded.

Discrimination in education is real.
Systematic and structural barriers continue for black, latinx, Native American, and some Asian American Pacific Islander children.
In 2018, school districts located in neighborhoods with the highest rates of poverty received an average of around $1,000 (7% less) in funding per student than those in wealthier areas.
Governmental policies like No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 can make schools likely to push out low-performing students just to meet the testing standards for their state.
It has become clear that students who identify as LGBTQ+ and students who are English language learners grapple with added barriers.
Brown v. Board of Education was great for civil rights, but even today black children still face racial and economic gaps within education.
