"Better Education Through Innovation"

In an opinion article in LATIMES.com, three prominent figures speak on how innovation is needed within the classrooms to better education in our country. Without proper education, future journalists and students will not be updated with the latest innovations. This is due to the failure of government officials and school board officials.

"Today, the shame of our cities isn't bubonic plague; it's ignorance. In our urban areas, only one child in five is proficient in reading. On international tests, we rank behind the Czech Republic and Latvia; our high school graduation rate barely makes the top 20 worldwide."

As one of the strongest countries in the world, I am pretty sure that public officials can spend more money in schools for innovating our teachers and students.
