Education out the Window (EXTRA)

This cartoon could have two different meanings. The first to which could insinuate that we are simply throwing our kids education out the window. Many of us believe that since public schools are cutting programs and cutting funding, we are just giving up important parts of our children's education. This cartoon could also represent the fact that we are not properly preparing our children for the future ahead of them. That we are throwing them out the window and telling the to "fly," when they are not ready. Education is an important topic within our community and has become more of an upfront issue as of late. Education of our children is a very important topic and we cannot stand to see our children be thrown out into our world before time has prepared for them for the outside world. We do not tend to realize how sheltered our children are within the school systems. They have their own little worlds they live in within the school systems. Yet as they get older within the school system they tend to ween off of these safety blankets and begin to see the big bad world for what it is.

It is our duty to make sure they are prepared when they set out into this big bad world, and throwing them out before they are educationally ready, is like tossing a baby bird into the air. We need to make sure that our children are ready to "fly". By preparing them step by step for college and not pressing them in high school to be skipping classes and going straight into college. College is an important aspect of our education but it does not mean that we should force our children into college before they are ready. They should be able to enjoy their high school years and not have to worry about their education flying out the window before they are ready to fly.
