What problems will the reform of community education adress?

1. My proposal will help address equity issues and improve schools for Latino and African American kids at risk of school failure by giving them access to more resources such as after school tutoring and caring teachers who will go out of their way to help students.
2. It will demonstrate how community involvement is needed for student success. This success can be defined as how quickly a student assimilates into the American culture or how quickly a student can coordinate their home, school, and culture.
3.The minorities who often fail are those without a support system. Although the economy is bad the minorities that succeed are defined by their resiliency and ability to realize the larger picture and see that an education can benefit a person for a lifetime while a lack of knowledge can hurt them for life.
4. Another problem among students is they see the horrible economy and difficult job market dissuading them from seeing the point of an education.
5. While all the previously mentioned problems in education are issues that students face the biggest issues will never be on these lists because students often do not discuss them. Issues such as job loss among parents, poverty, divorce, depression, and anxiety are major issues that today affect everyone not just students. Oftentimes students will see their parents in these conditions and become discouraged as to their future and question the importance of an education and whether there is a reason to go to school at all.
