 You wake up early to shower, heat up the car and soon you'll find yourself in Starbucks or beagles. You head to work and wait for the day to end. You get home, do some paper work, house cleaning or make dinner. You wake up the next day and begin your routine. The guy at work has been begin you to go on a date with him so you decide to go. He keeps you entertained so you keep in seeing him. Life gets thrilling. After two years of dating you decide to move in to his place. You get married and you find out you can't have a kid. He truly loves you so he decides to stay with you. Would you help some other kid. Would you vote to increase property tax.Â
Just remember, someone else education affects your life.
So you decide to not increase property tax for school funding. A child was shot at the park near your house so you no longer jog there. You drive 30 minutes to commute to the next park. The city market has closed during the night due to the high rates of robbery. You only have 1 opening during your week to go grocery shopping, that was the day you stayed to rest.Â
So if you could vote to increase property tax and increase school funding would you?

Knowledge is power
The older you get the more you know. Knowledge is power, but the individual decides in what way will he use his power.Â
Children grow up and become more aware of social problems. Society tells them “wait until you are in the real world”. Although, there is debate about this quote. Society expects children to maintain “good kids”. “Good” academically, personally, and emotionally. In some way we find them innocent, clean hearted and putting them in the “real world” would hurt them. “The real world” where war exist, hate, suffering  and deception is connect. Yet these kids are in the real world. They are who they are because they have not been disappointed. If they have been, in a case like a child being abandon they don't care because they haven’t develop the ability to take a stand, weather its good thing or bad.Â
It is in the stage where they learn. They learn if things are good or bad. They concentrate in friends and a good time because it is all they want. When they grow and learn more about life and more academically they get to decide how important academic life is. Students who are raised in a business family will be attending a university for sure, the children will learn to aim for a prestigious school. The kid who grows up in a domestic violence home will take more importance to try to find a place where he feels safe and protected, a social circle. This child would be less likely to focus about attending a university.Â
It is more likely for a higher income child to a trend a university because they have been taught to aim for a good school. Yet, low income students tend to drop out and enter a work force quickly.Â
Why? Why low income children.
This is the big because. Because children aren't taught to care about their education. We need to teach them that education is a bridge to a better economic life. With out it, yes you could become rich but theres a low possibility of it. Â If we increase school funding thats great!!Â
Teachers will be able to influence student so much that even the single mother child, the domestic violence victim, and the unfortunate will be able to thrive for a better life. The correlation between the student relationship and the students academic performance is high. The more attention and care a student receives, the better she/he will do.Â
In order to give children good support we need to have a lower student to teacher ratio and this can only occur if we increase school funding.Â
To better our economy lets better their lives.Â

In this well-argued talk, Timothy Bartik makes the macro-economic case for preschool education -- and explains why you should be happy to invest in it, even if you don't have kids that age (or kids at all). The economic benefits of well-educated kids, it turns out, go well beyond the altruistic. (Filmed at TEDxMiamiUniversity.)

The group found that the increased funding had the greatest effect if it was used to raise teachers' salaries, reduce class sizes or lengthen the school year. That conclusion accords with other research finding that better teachers can have profound effects on how much students learn, since the schools with the smallest classes and the highest salaries can attract the most talented instructors.
