Education is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life. It is something that a child or an adult should treasure and be proud of. You should not waste your education. To many education may be more important than a job. Our President , Barack Obama has a plan for our education. He is preparing our children to compete in the global economy. There are three steps to that. Step 1 is to improve K-12 schooling. Step 2 is expand access to higher education. Step 3 is make sure our children are prepared for kindergarden. This is all according to the website Organizing for America : http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education. Obama is trying his hardest. Getting Better Grades in school? Well , I am! Obama is making college affordable for students. He is our cheat sheet on education. I live in New York City and my gosh , the education rates are not that high. The New York City department education gives us way too many breaks and passes. All you see is summerschool , failed regents , and kids getting left behind. I had regents week , mid winter , and I'm going to have spring vacation. I can't wait until summer comes. I am a teenager so , I am not the right one to address this situation but , I can. Graduation rates are a little low all together. Education is important. It hols your future in its hands.
