    i believe this is wrong considering the fact that teachers have to pay to go to school to get this job and then they are receiving layoffs. that is not okay. this is why we need to recognize the importance of education.

    That is very crazy to hear. Of course budget cuts occur all the time at schools but something as grave as letting go over 500 teachers is quite absurd. I mean I guess if they felt that they had to do that then so be it but without teachers then who will be teaching the students of the future?

    It's crazy to hear about so many teachers getting laid off, I mean we need education for now and the future. It's mind blowing to know that we have such a poor system for teachers, I feel like they should get paid way more than what they get they spend more time with our children than we do.

    Our nation is riddled with debt and many states have considered relaxing drug policies to help budgets.  There are some financial benefits that would come with legalizing drugs such as taxes and savings on both persecuting and housing criminals.

    America's mental health is becoming an epidemic, yet funding for mental health is at an all time low. States are cutting funding for mental healthcare, in order to save money, yet when they do this they do not understand the repercussions. Many of the mentally ill often end up on the streets, jail or dead. When mental health is not treated we end up with many tragic events such as the 2012 Auroa shooting

    This article talks about the effects of mental illness on the people suffering with it as well as families. It talks about how budget cuts mean less care for the sick and how that directly leads to more mentally ill people homeless, in jail, and dead. It also talks about how much money untreated mental health costs the US

    Some schools in areas of low funding have worse results in student turn out than ones in highly funded areas due to how schools get their funding. Budget cuts from the government could impact the future of education more than it already is.

    Funding in high poverty areas were hit hard by budget cuts in recent years, getting less and less money, leading to things like teacher layoffs, reduced services and more. If the government followed the Every Student Succeeds Act, high poverty schools could get more funding towards their students futures.

    An article from a college about statistics and effects immigration has on our economy. Negative or positive you make up your mind on how immigration effects us.
  • monique102 on 28 Jan 17
     
    Definitely a topic I always find myself neutral. I try to have positive outlooks with the U.S. being the number 1 with the immigration. I get that most immigrants come here for the American dream (freedom) but then I think shouldn't they come here the right way by becoming a citizen first? Since we would have to as well if we were to go live in their countries. Then I see stuff on the news in the U.S. about shootings, bombs, etc caused by an immigrant. That would be my negative outlook.

    One third of children in the U. S. is overweight or obese, and this number is continuing to rise. Children have fewer weight-related health and medical problems than adults. However, overweight children are at high risk of becoming overweight adolescents and adults, placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life.

    Obesity in children in our country happens to have the highest percentage in comparison with other countries. I think we, as parents and we, as responsible adults can change this. We should have in schools mandatory pysical education classes, at least once a week. and it would still make a difference. Also, the school snacks or lunches, the menu needs adjustment and changed to a more nutritional one, not one that is high in calories. Now, I know that kids love fast food, but if that can be limited I think would change something. Sometimes us, the parents we are making this mistake, being in a hurry out of convenience, we buy some fast food and dinner ready. Of course, the child loves it and everyone is happy, but if we do this over and over, the result is child obesity and health issues related to that. The change needs to start with us, as adults in the choices we make.

    Diet and activity is so important especially when it comes to children. Adults are supposed to engage children in daily activities and teach them while they are young to have a clean eating diet. The U.S. definitely has the highest rates when it comes to obesity. With all the fast and processed foods around it just makes it convenient for us all to buy.
  • aus2127741 on 29 Jan 17
     
    Parents who let their children become obese are abusive. Also these so called "healthy" menus at schools are often nothing more than calorie restrictions. For example, my former high school Ironwood often only served a slice of pizza and that is it and charged $2.75. Students would instead by 2 slices of pizza from vendors for a dollar each. Also many students just skip lunch all together and snack after they get home from school. Another problem is the budget. Cafeteria workers make very little money and have a small amount of money to spend,. As a result cafeterias serve junk food because it is cheaper. Also many parents use the busy excuse to be neglectful of their children's health.
  • che2146091 on 29 Jan 17
     
    To say that parents who let their children become obese are abusive have never struggled with weight. But that too is a generalization. There are so many children that are on fighting diseases and are given medication that has side effects of weight gain.One of these drugs is steroids. My daughter is fighting several different battles she was born with. She is on steroids, by the doctor, to fight one of the diseases. She is also a love vegetables and fruits. She swims every week. She takes tap, ballet, jazz and gymnastics. She is overweight, but very fit. Some diseases are ruthless. To say that being overweight is because you eat pizza and that you are unhealthy is just wrong. There are many ways that you can be unhealthy. Looks can be deceiving. Don't judge that book until you read it

    High blood pressure at such a young age is horrible. The parents are not the only ones at fault but our society is at fault for allowing to go as far as it has gone. As "aus2127741", states about the school systems lack of nutritional value is absolutely correct, it being disgusting.
  • cheyennehorne on 29 Jan 17
     
    Obesity in children is often sad to see but it is becoming very prevalent in American society. In my opinion, a mixture of an extremely sedentary lifestyle as well as poor nutritional choices at school and at home contribute largely to this issue. Because children now have a multitude of indoor activities that don't necessarily get them on their feet and a lack of overall knowledge on what is a decent, balanced diet I'm not really surprised to see this issue skyrocketing.

    Obesity is still rising especially because of the pandemic that we are going through which made families quarantine for a long time. It is very sad that the obesity rates only have increased.

    The world's seven most rich nations talk about how they could help prevent famine in a number of different places around the world. They are supposed to meet every year, however, COVID got in the way of last year's meet, making the hunger crisis grow tremendously. They suspect over 230 million could face the threat of hunger. The response to help prevent malnutrition is underway as of mid-June 2021.

    I did not know covid 19 made famine worse. Aid budgets are getting reduced as a result of covid 19 as well.
