The purpose of this blog is to show America what is wrong with our country, but also offer solutions on how to fix those problems. I am seventeen but I carefully follow politics because it is my future, and what ever mistakes are made now, my generation will have to fix.

Education System
The last couple of days some people have brought up David Harmer's opposition to the current education system where it is run by the government. David Harmer is running for a Representative in California's Eleventh District. Being part of this school system I can tell you that it is not working and could use an overhaul. The best schools in the district are ones that are not run by the government. There are a variety of private and charter schools that preform higher than the normal school. Schools need to have the freedom to make adjustments to fit their students and not have to abide by the government and union wishes. Teachers should constantly be evaluated and not have contracts so they can be replaced in the middle of the year. The union needs to back down and let teachers be responsible and not just be able to keep their job because they have been teaching for twenty years. Students should be able to decide where they go so schools are competing for those students. I am not asking for all of these changes at once, but slowly they need to happen, but the number one thing is to let the schools have a say, and not be controlled by the government and the union.
