Comment on a colleague’s work #1

Hi Amy,
Today, I read your blog about “School-choice”. You helped me to know more about school system in the US. I agree with you that the future of American is our children. And also “the key to making our Nation great, is giving our children a great education”. It‘s not only in the US, but also in the other countries. Thus, the only thing is school system, which helps our children to have a great education. I am surprised when the citizens of the US have to pay high property taxes, but they have no choice the public schools their children can attend. It’s so different from my country. Children can choose the high school with good qualities, but they have to get good grades in the middle school. However, you can choose the elementary and middle school only in the district where you are living. In another hand, in the US, the location of their houses determines where their children have to attend school, unless they decided to put them in private school. Therefore, people who are living in the US, shouldn’t looking for the dream house, they should pick where their children attend school. In my country, it’s same here. If some houses in the districts, which have great schools, their price is usually more expensive.
This article is a good resource for me. It gave me more knowledge about the school system. I think the government should give the citizens some choices to pick the school for their children. Thus, people don’t have to do two jobs to earn more money for the private schools. People will have enough time to take care their family.
