Education is always a big controversy. Everyone, government, parents, and teachers want to make the school system better for the child. They all want the child to be able to succeed.

These are programs that get students actually interested in school, and the Republican Party wants to them terminated. They are cutting funding from seven states and President Bush campaigned to fund special education and now plans to fund less than half. Government needs to...
