If Money Weren’t a Problem

By: Abigail Reyes-Reza

Money is a problem in many schools who don’t get good funding which mainly affects the students. But what if money wasn’t a problem? With the proper school fundings the students can achieve more and feel better about being in school.

The main problem that should be solved first is lunch. While many could qualify for free lunch, there are still students who don’t eat lunch because they don’t have the money to pay for it. Lunch should be free because these students need to eat every day so that they won’t be starving themselves, which affects them negatively during their classes and causes them to lose focus. So in order for these students to learn, they have to be fed properly.

In addition to lunch, with money not being a problem the school would have many supplies at hand for their students, providing for their needs. The bathrooms could be cleaner, and even have extra items. For example, the girls’ bathrooms could have pads and tampons which helps them personally for their time of the month. The school classrooms and clubs would have better supplies and have more equipment where teachers and students don’t have to pay out of their pockets for decent supplies.

With money not being a problem, the schools could afford good teachers. Teachers who are able to educate and motivate their students without having to leave because they weren’t getting paid enough.

And with these teachers there could be a wider variety of classes going from theater, photography, and music, all the way through foreign languages, coding, cooking, and even psychology. With these new options, students can embrace their interests or find something new and engaging, which helps them have an idea of what they want as a future career, preparing them for what’s to come.

So with money not being the problem, students have no limit to their capabilities.
