Effects Of Education On Public Schools - 988 Words

Intro The United States of America, a country full of opportunities, growth, and freedom. Education in America is the key to life, the possibilities are endless when you have an education. But what if the quality of your education was poorly? In Washington state roughly 10 Billion dollars are spent on education, but not all of it is spent on schools.
