Benefits to reform

1.Lower property taxes would result if students worked to fund a part of their education.
2. Not all people would need to support public schools as they do now and the elderly and sick who often are plagued by high taxes would have less of a burden.
3.Foreclosure rates may go down due to lower taxes.
4.Those with children will also be able to rest easily knowing their children are getting not just an average or in some cases substandard education but a good if not excellent one.
5.When students work at the jobs they are assigned to they will be going out into their own community reforming it with every day they work and building up their neighborhood instead of tearing it down.
6.The time students work could keep them off the streets and lower their exposure to crime and gangs improving safety and well-being and in a way reforming their community.
7. These students as the Cristo Rey website states will gain "desirable job experience and marketable skills, develop a network of business contacts, gain exposure to a wide variety of career opportunities, refine a strong work ethic, and increase there self-esteem."
8. If the Cristo Rey model and the community schooling model combine students as the article 10 Elements Every High School Should Have In Place states would "thrive when their high schools encourage positive learning relationships among families educators, faith groups, civic organizatinos businesses, and other members of the community. And school leaders should reach out to their neighbors by attending community evevnts and forming partnerships with local organizations to increase effectiveness and tap additional resources."
