Reflection+on+Educating+the+Youth+in+America

From my own experiences with education at Parker, I've been able to see the value of how important education is for youth. It is true that Parker is an exceptional school in all areas, but I still believe that education anywhere can do the same thing. To name a few of the things education can do for youth, it helps kids raise their self esteem, become confident, expand their horizons, helps kids think, helps kids stay out of trouble, and most importantly gives children the foundation for living that they will use for the rest of their life. It is the most important thing, I believe, that a child can have, and that is why I am so upset that it is not granted to every child in this country. Education is what we need to help us become citizens, and through all the school closings around the country I don't think every child will always be granted this right. Education reform needs to happen, and it needs to happen now.
