[RE] Better Schools

This is a response to Adam Redfield's post.

While I believe education is something that needs serious reforming, I am lost as to what I can do, without hindering my own educational competitiveness, to change our educational system for the better.

      I completely agree with what Adam says.  Us little high school students have no control over what happens with our schools.  Alameda is a prime example of this.  The first time Measure A was voted on, it did not pass.  Luckily, Measure A passed the seond time.  But what if it didn't pass?  Our school system would be in ruins.  I think that two of the middle schools would be closed down and everyone would be jammed into Alameda High School and Encinal.  With the freshmen who came in this year, Alameda High is already packed.  Think of how it would be if two more grades were forced to go to Alameda High. Most  students in high are not even able to vote.  We had no power on if our schools would be saved or not.
     At the beginning of his post, Adam talked about how all of these other countries are protesting to help their schools, but we are not.  California is one of the last states in school funding.  Californians should be the ones protesting the school system.  Another good point that Adam makes is that it would take a lot of time and effort; and without a lot of people, the protests would not be very successful.  I also don't feel as though high school students would have the manpower, or the respectability to pull off successful protests. 
     All in all, I really agree that our educational system needs a lot of reforming.  Also, student should have a say in what goes on in the schools.
