Quality Programs for All Children

Over the next five years I hope public opinion will have a huge impact on the educational system. First, the public needs to know and understand why public opinion is important. Educating the public on current issues is critical. It’s easy to give a survey and ask people to answer questions but not really knowing the meaning related to the questions being ask. People have to be aware of the issues before we can ask their opinion. Encouraging other to become more involved in the process opens the door for positive change. As we begin to encourage others and they become more involved and began to understand the issues, our influence opens the door to them voicing their opinions. We have so many issues that will affect the educational system but we’re mainly looking at issues that children and their families may face and not the issues of those who work closely with our children. These issues also affect the healthy development of our children. Public opinion can be a major tool that will help us change how we chose our educators. Passing a certification test just like requiring students to take standardized test is not the answer. You have many that may qualify because they have book knowledge but will they possess the human characteristics that are needed to ensure that all children are safe and in an environment that is centered around their needs. Public opinion will can have a profound impact on the educational system. So many efforts have been put in place to limit voicing our concerns, but the public has many opportunities to voice theirs. If we continue to encourage and educate the public on important issues our efforts are not in vain. The opportunities are there we have to get the public to take advantage of them.
