: About Me

While I have not written anything ever to be published, I enjoy writing very much and will soon posess a bachelor's degree in Political Science. I mostly enjoy political writing and consider myself to be fairly adept, but also have an afinity for creative writing, sports, and poetry and have written some poetry for my own enjoyment over the years. I have written many papers for my undergraduate law classes and political science classes, as well as a couple of argumentative papers and other various works in classes not quite so interesting. I would have to say that among friends and relatives, I am at least a somewhat-respected author based on my few works I have sent for their review. I hope to continue to write articles for Helium and to be able to have some published by the various groups looking for relevant work on this site.

The discussion on this topic is long overdue. Public schools have come a long way since their inception in the mid 1800's. They used to be small, community-oriented school houses that operated on small budgets and used common sense principles of education. Since then, they have become large, underperfoming, and often poverty-stricken institutions that can barely teach a child how to read, let alone how to become a productive, educated citizen. The dropout rates are astounding and the government bureaucracy that controls them is abhorrent. The most recent example of this comes from a school...
