As I looked through the MBA Mock Election Results I noticed that although Education placed second in terms of what issue we felt was most important to our country it was only 34 votes compared to the 155 "economy" won in first place. A big part of me wondered "well aren't these students the future of our country? shouldn't we give a bit more focus to that?". Despite my opinion I decided to withhold it until I had some grasp on the situation of Education the United States. The article I found here combined two of my favorite things, psychology, and politics. the article really enlightened me to some issues about education that weren't just about politicians throwing mud at one another over not single-handedly fixing America's school system. The article goes into various topics such as the persistent racial gaps in schools, how American students feel about their education system, and even includes some hard numbers that will make you really want to understand why we are lagging behind so many countries in terms of education.
