Review on Colleen's Post

This topic of education has really sparked an intrest for me reading through peoples blogs. I think that there are many issues with the system regarding equality in availablity, quality, cost, and other aspects that can greatly effect a persons life. I think the issue must be adressed by the American public and must be dealt with as soon as possible. I know that our country has other responsabilities and has other priorities but creating an equal enviroment for all those under its arm should be knocked up a couple notches on this list. Although the government has tried for many years to completely set up equal opportunity for all students it still hasn't gotten to the point of complete equality. Even though it is unquestionably better than it used to be there is still room for improvement. One thing I read that intrested me is that Colleen didn't believe that the people could help anymore and that it was strictly up to the government to help with this problem. I strongly disagree with this statement she made. I think that there are multiple things that people could do to help quicken this solution. Fighting for what we believe in is something we have studied alot in this class and I dont believe this topic is any different. If we were to just sit back and wait for the government to fix the solution it wouldn't happen. The people that believe strongly for the cause must make a statement in order to push the governments hand. Having unequal opportunity is unconstitutional and must imediatly be adressed. If the government sees people standing up for this cause they will have to react. The people still do have alot of the power and must use it in order to push for what they believe in.
