    The poor schools in the United States; places like Illinois, Missouri, New York and Alabama, are not receiving enough funding to accommodate for their students needs. Things like high-quality teachers and educational equipment are even some educational courses cant be provided because of this.
  • matthewvazquez on 29 Jan 21
     
    The schools that get the least amount of funding should receive more support in helping students and their situations. Nothing will change if support isn't provided for low funded schools.

    By looking at local property taxes, you can see that the education of the wealthier students if funded better than the poorer students. This has not gone unnoticed, even to the point of law suits, and yet still schools underfund the more vulnerable students and leave them unprepared for the future.

    A massive part of school district funding is local property taxes, which is why the high property value areas have better funded schools. If we want to thrive as a country we need to have quality education and funding for schools everywhere not just the wealthy districts but the colored and poverty districts, too. Quality education should be for everyone.

    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.

    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.

    I really enjoyed this article. It's nice to inform people about the reasons why people struggle with finding access to good mental health care. A lot of the world is misinformed as to why people are unable to access help for their mental issues.

    I too enjoyed this article. As I'm aspiring to be a psychiatrist, issues such as these are very important to me, especially considering that I have suffered from mental illness as well. There are indeed many stigmas that surround mental illness, and we as a society are just barely beginning to understand the sensitive nature of these illnesses, as well as how to effectively treat them.
  • karlag1308 on 08 Sep 20
     
    Thank you for sharing this article! I believe it's important to understand why it's so hard for so many people to get treatment for mental illness. It's not as easy as go to the gym or just don't think about it. It's important to get rid of the stigma and economic barriers that surround mental illness and treatment.

    I personally think that mental health has such a negative stigma around it, which is part of the reason it gets negated. Taking that negative stigma away, and providing people with access to the care they need is so important.

    Mental health truly is something that gets disregarded a lot of the time. If anything, all the time. I agree, having access to mental healthcare is extremely important. It could be beneficial to so many people and could save numerous lives.

    Its freightening how unaware we are as a people to mental health conditions. A condition that America has called its epidemic is obesity, but the root cause of so many conditions is actual mental health. Mental health is more than just people who struggle with a psycological problem.
