American school's are far to under financed, and over looked. Teachers are underpaid, school systems are underfunded, and students are almost uneducated because of this. Average Americans between the ages of 20-50 do not even know how our country works as a whole, let alone any of the pressing matters on platforms for voting or petitions. Students directly out of high school cannot even name our 50 states here in the United states of America nor do they know any other language besides English, yet in any other country most students are taught from birth multiple languages, names of other countries, proper grammar and spelling, and the system of their own country and how it works.
I petition congress to look at the educational budget of America and raise it by at least 30%.
