First of all, in 2004, only 9% of the federal budget as a whole went to educating our own; a whopping 42% of our tax dollars went to support the war effort. How does the administration expect to improve the success of our educational system when it is not even a mere concern monetarily? (www.fcnl.org,2005). Success within a crumbling system requires money.

In addition to the lack of funding for our nation's next generation, the introduction of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) during President Bush's first term in office is wasting the little 9% of tax dollars that are allocated to education.

Final Recommendations solution to our nation's failing educational system lies simply in money. Without more money allocated to education, teachers will be unwilling to put in the time and effort required to do the best they possibly can. Students will (and already do) feel that they are uncared for. They can see that their buildings are falling apart and that their books are 10 years out-of-date. By giving more money to schools to improve such things, students will feel more cared for and then more inclined to succeed. Educational politicians need to fight harder for their cause, or else the nation as a whole will continue to suffer......
