    It is everyones right to have the opportunity to receive a good education. Education and knowledge are said to be the best quality. With this said it takes a lot of self motivation, but some kids just don't have access to education.

    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.

    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.

    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.

    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  • edv2140870 on 01 Feb 21
     
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.

      This statement has an Orwellian tone to it to indicate the tone of the article to the reader as cautious, paranoid even, and fearful
  • as most people are law-abiding citizens, most ostensibly will not be targeted for surveillance and it will not impact their lives,
  • safer through the elimination of criminals.
  • the government already has the ability to track a known target's movements to a reasonable degree, and has easy access to information such as one's purchasing habits, online activities, phone conversations, and mail.
  • if the individual has been treated unfairly and procedures violated, are there appropriate means of redress? Are there means for discovering violations and penalties to encourage responsible surveillant behavior
  • allowing surreptitious surveillance of one form, even limited in scope and for a particular contingency, encourages government to expand such surveillance programs in the future
  • the danger of a "slippery slope" scenario cannot be dismissed as paranoia
  • British police are now pushing for the DNA collection of children who "exhibit behavior indicating they may become criminals in later life"

      This opens a door for discriminatory profiling from government agencies and educators who report the behavior
  • M.I.T. professor Gary Marx, who argued that before implementing surveillance we should evaluate the proposed methods by asking a number of questions, which we enumerate below:
  • does the technique cross a personal boundary without permission (
  • are individuals aware that personal information is being collected, who seeks it and why?
  • consent
    • smurphy6600
      smurphy6600 on 06 Sep 21
       
      The issue seems to be that consumers using the technology our government tracks aren't aware of what they are consenting to due to the long and overly-articulated terms and conditions presented to them in a purposefully confusing manner in order to gain access to their data
  • human review of machine generated results
  • With the expansion of surveillance, such abuses could become more numerous and more egregious as the amount of personal data collected increases.
  • security of the data be adequately protected?
  • are the goals of the data collection legitimate?
  • In general, we feel that surveillance can be ethical, but that there have to exist reasonable, publicly accessible records and accountability for those approving and performing the surveillance in question.
  • smurphy6600 on 06 Sep 21
     
    The website offers links to various sources of information on the collection and distribution of surveilled data from government agencies in an attempt to inform its readers and covers the paranoia tinted tone of those who find government surveillance in todays society to be too close to "Big Brother" methods and presents an argument for their point of view through the methods of MIT professor Gary Marx. The argument is presented in a series of questions on the ethical stance of what the government surveils, what the surveillance consists of as well as the consequences of any action taken as a result of surveillance and the reality that American citizens never consented to the constant surveillance of their personal lives. The position of inclination towards complacency is concisely summed with a strong amount of surveillance being presented by the double edged statement of "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.".

    Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

    "Question: What percentage of students with disabilities are educated in regular classrooms? Response: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), enacted in 1975, mandates that children and youth ages 3-21 with disabilities be provided a free and appropriate public school education. In fall 2013, some 95 percent of 6- to 21-year-old students with disabilities were served in regular schools; 3 percent were served in a separate school for students with disabilities; 1 percent were placed in regular private schools by their parents; and less than 1 percent each were served in one of the following environments: in a separate residential facility, homebound or in a hospital, or in a correctional facility.

    Information can readily be absorbed when it is relevant to human purpose. The proper focus of authentic education is not ingestion and disgorgement of information like trained seals clapping their flippers on command but a development process that leads to critical thinking and life-long learning skills.

    I agree with this education should be free. Lots of people don't go to college for the fact that they cant afford to go. President Biden has canceled student loans which I think was really good of him to do. I know people who are in debt due to this.
  • azychandler1998 on 09 Sep 21
     
    Education overall has so many social issues carved into it, cost being one of the major ones. Even just cutting down the cost would help. but we are one of the most expensive countries to attend college in. Like the article you linked states, student loans and the excessive amount people spend on an education results in them becoming bankrupt before even starting out.

    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.
  • jen2081270 on 02 Sep 17
     
    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.
  • tyl2148960 on 03 Sep 17
     
    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

    The goal of the ACLU is to guarantee that all are free to practice their faith-or no faith at all-without governmental interference. Through litigation, public education, and advocacy, the ACLU promotes religious freedom and works to ensure that government neither prefers religion over non-religion nor favors particular faiths over others.

    This is an interesting thought however, I feel that too easily the system would get bogged down. Also, the money to pay for this free college would have to come from tax-payers. In reality I don't see how it would work. I know in Germany college is free IF a student has a certain score on a standardized test, so that the government sees the student as a worthwhile investment. It sounds harsh, but it works. I think in America too many things would cause that rule to be derailed. Also, Germany has as much smaller and homogeneous population, so that works better.

    I am a person who is all for free education..in theory. Like Amanda, I do not believe it would be beneficial to provide the United States with free education because we as the tax papers would suffer. However, I do wish the government would make it so that we are not in such crippling debt once our education is over.
  • lion_aj on 29 Jan 18
     
    As much as I would love to see free education, it would not be free because it would come down to the average tax payer to pay for it. I do however wish to see lower interest rates.
  • jaz2153385 on 30 Jan 18
     
    I wish education could be 100% free. Everyone is always pushing us younger people to pursue a college degree without knowing that college isn't just a sign up and go kind of thing. You have to pay thousands of dollars either out of pocket or by federal funding.

    This article is very eye opening for those who are unaware of the differences in education between public and private schools due to financial differences. It gives insight as to why public schools are not as successful with education versus private schools. Often times more money is dumped into a private school whom can afford it versus public schools who cannot.
