SAVE

Written by: Chris Dhanaraj

The Huffington Post released an article a week ago entitled “Education Voters” featuring our Executive Director Matthew Segal amongst other young, politically involved persons. The article’s exposition starts off with author Ben Terris looking at Matthew Segal’s work, and then transitions into the pressing issue of making the voters that organizations like SAVE get to the poll educated voters.

Terris traveled south to Charleston, South Carolina and met with a young woman where she related to him the problems of the education gap in America especially concerning her, an aspiring elementary school teacher who sees first hand the problems public schools face in America. Terris moved south to the Georgia Institute of Technology and ran into a Teachers for America seminar, where they related to him much of the same problems.

The essence of the article rings that education, and education policy, is an issue that is becoming more and more relevant to American citizens. From those most involved with the issue to just everyday citizens, the problem is becoming paramount. The disparity between public schools has become outrageous, and this article seeks to show that the American populace is, thankfully, realising this as well.
