These initiatives have not done much to improve education for youth and worsened the existing inequities in school.

Economic gain could be one, but it shouldn't be the only one. Knowledge also leads to better participation in terms of government. If people were well educated, they would have a greater voice in society.

At least it should be.

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 13:02:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/134407?scroll_to=1301276 https://nowcomment.com/documents/134407?scroll_to=1301276 I think this could be an issue because test performance tied to school funding can lead to a cycle of problems. For example, schools in low income communities. Teachers that are well in their profession won't necessarily choose these types of schools because it may be below their pay level or their academic level. So, low income schools, receive the not so good teachers leading to low performances on test leading to less funding and again leading to lower wages for teachers.

He then introduces a source that he used in order to explain such vocabulary, then he goes on explaining what the point of the quote was. Tue, 19 Mar 2019 16:24:31 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134429 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134429 This line has a point in saying immigrants from Central or South Americans that are seeking asylum aren't actually seeking asylum, but a better life, because if their intentions were true, they would've seeked asylum in the countries they passed. But it still is not wrong wanting a better life. Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:52:42 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134425 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134425 I didn't think of immigrants actually being refugees in that they are feeling very unsafe in their own country. It makes sense seeing the rising number of immigrants or rather refugees from countries that aren't in the best conditions. Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:49:44 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134424 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134424 I found this interesting because I still assumed that Mexican immigrants would be the majority crossing the border, but they are not anymore. Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:47:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134407 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134407 As much as I would like to agree with this opinion, it still is just an opinion because it is supported with facts. Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:37:45 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134399 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134399 If there is reported labor shortages, how are immigrants taking jobs from Americans? Yes, immigrants do affect the economy, but this line seems to support that immigrants affect the economy in a good way. Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:33:53 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134376 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134376 I found it interesting seeing lack of respect for each other as one of the top problems in America. I can see it being one because today people can't voice their opinions without someone attacking and not respecting their opinion. Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:18:42 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134366 https://nowcomment.com/documents/116077?scroll_to=1134366 Republicans see immigration as a problem in affecting America's economy and crime. Why do they assume immigrants are automatic criminals? Aren't majority of immigrants in search for a better life? Democrats see immigration as a problem in how Trumps administration is handling it.

It caused an uproar across the nation that had many people wanting for reform.

I don't oppose the idea of having more immigrants, but how would that affect the country? Why are there many Americans opposed to the idea of even having immigrants? Mon, 15 Oct 2018 10:55:23 -0400
