Education is vital to the success of an individual and a nation. Appropriate funding to our schools is imperative for success to occur. Without sufficient funding; classrooms become overcrowded, educators are restricted providing fun learning experiences, and schools are consistently attempting to keep up-to-date with materials and maintenance costs. Let us end this oxymoron of fining schools for overcrowding classrooms where they do not receive the sufficient funds in the first place, for it is "cheaper to pay the fines than to hire the teachers." Educators need more funding to provide the education our children are entitled to, so they may provide this country with the knowledge and innovation we were once proud of.
