Well, frankly, the education system is screwed. I mean, I am from Arizona. We are ranked 48th or something in education. I am at the top of my class, and the rest of the people are either totally amazed at my intelligence, of they hate me. I don't want to me egotistical, but I think that I am one of the lucky ones. I look at my little brothers, who aren't as naturally intelligent as I am and think of how bad they have it.

This semester alone, I taught my little brother how to read and do math. His teacher didn't do much in the way of helping him AT ALL. What I think is if we give the teachers more money, they will teach better. The federal government really has a problem, and they need to put less money into other countries and war and more into schools. Maybe that way we can bring up the literacy rate.

Its true teachers get paid Squat.

Really if you are going to work for the City or State and you want to help somone you dont really get paid much

My mom is a teacher and my dad is a retired cop now Federal agent
