Education vital to U.S. future

With the recent cuts to the education budgets of Washington state, I thought it would be essential for me as a student to speak about these changes.

Education is an important aspect of life, as the younger generation is the future of the United States, it is crucial to remember that they rely on the information given and the teachers to teach the things that they will need to know. Often many adults have only been educated kindergarten through high school in public schools, so to cut back on these years is harmful due to the fact that they only know the things taught to them in these years.
