Education is the Seed to America

It is common knowledge that education spurs economic growth. Education seems to be popping up more and more across the world. Countries like East Asia, Russia and India have shown a positive correlation between their high investments in education and their high rates of economic growth. Recently, the states has come into some scrutiny that there is not enough funding to public educational institutions.

Unlike the nationally regulated and financed education systems of other industrialized societies, American education is primarily the concern of the states and individual school districts. At the time of Confederation, the founding fathers proposed that Americans give high priority to a “crusade against ignorance.” However, more and more we see the drop out rates of students rising. The country has the resources but is not focusing its energy on what is right in front of it. Instead of fighting outsiders, the country should be training its insiders who would then have the brain power and wit to compete with countries like India and China.

One man in California is determined to see that the founding father’s wishes are granted. America should never be considered an “ignorant” state. Jim Cook, running for state assembly, should be commemorated for his dedication to bring America out of its ignorance. By increasing funding, Jim Cook vows to provide quality public education for all so that every person will have the knowledge and capability to bring growth to this country. His campaign is the beginning of a fight to bridge the values that unite Americans. Show your support for superior education, donate or volunteer today.
