What I have so far
(1) the issue and controversy - arizona is misappropriating their funding and the schools all around the state are suffering. They are hiring under qualified teachers
to save money and in turn, we have one of the worst education systems in the entire US. From this, students suffer because it ruins their overall chances of being
successful in universities and life in the future.
(2) why you feel it is important - This is an important issue because if the youth are being forced to go to school, then they should be building skills that will aid
them in creating a future for themselves. This way it gives them a chance to pursue further education and succeed or at least leaving them with enough information and
drive to chase some sort of dream, and or career.
(3) your current stance or view on what should be done to address/solve the issue (your argument) - I believe that if we find a way to direct more funds into the
arizona schools systems it would immediately create a better condition of living for the citizens of this state.
(4) why your stance/view is logical. - This statement is entirely plausible for several reasons. Even if most of these children were not to pursue further education,
they would already have the necessary building blocks to be an intelligent contributing person of society if their initial schooling was something with legitimate
substance. If you can't provide a decent education to the children in the first chapter of their life how can you expect them to go any farther already at an unfair
disadvantage. It would attract more families from all over the US, making it more appealing to bring a family here. We already have the beautiful scenery and the
amazing food, all we're missing is the confident educated people able to give back to what's already been created.
