Future, Investment, it's backward.

What's wrong with policymakers? Cosby cries out "Stop cutting School funding!" Isn't what we have learned that education is the future of a nature?" I found it to be very wrong that it costs less than $5,000 a year to educate a young person but $33,000 a year to incarcerate someone. This is so backward. Many young people, who has not been invested and cared for due to many reasons, cutting school funding being one reason, end up being in jail, taxpayer's money spent when they are incarcerated. Just today, I read USA today, school budget cuts shut down sports. I can see that some schools spend way too much funding on sports. Our children need to on the field and something to do. Coming form youth ministry experience, far too many children are sitting in front of computer, not being able to develop interpersonal skills face to face, not to mention, exercising, lack in social activity. I am aware of that our young people have different ways of social networking through facebook and twitter. I believe that interaction with others face to face is needed. Anyway, issue that I see is that kids don't get opportunities because of cutting school funding, not invested in their education, end up in jail. And more fund is spent when they are in jail than in school. This is so backward. Where is investment for our students, the future? We adults must get involved in and invest into our children' lives.
