We would like to think that all that is involved in the education system is the education and teaching of young minds, but we would be lying. There are a lot of politics involved in the education system, everything from standardizing tests deciding how good students and teachers are progressing to salary changes when a school performs lower than previous years. Education is also government funded, unless its a private school, and depending on the economy budgets a cut and programs like art and music don’t exist anymore. During the recent economic recession, schools have had to increase fund-raising, teachers have had to sacrifice more money for supplies, and ask students to bring more. Education and Politics is a site that provides readers with all this information and the current changes that are falling into place.
