Win to win, for equal funding.

  My fellow AZ community have you ever wondered where we land on a school funding system? Well I did the research so let me share this with you, "Arizona ranks dead last, and inadequate funding is at the root of the state’s severe teacher shortage and lackluster student achievement." (Education Law Center). What do you think we can do as a community to change this?  Let me tell you how I think we can make the change. Step one working together for this movement! Step two making a common agenda of what we want as our outcome and step 3 go for it!
   As a team we need to remember that the war must be won not just a battle. There will be many battles to get some sort of change implemented. But we are programed to compete with one another and there will be those who will oversee this movement. But for a movement like this we must learn to work together to make our partnership succeed. We must learn which battles are worth winning and to be able to find a solution for more win wins together. We will fight together, we will work together, we will win, lose and achieve our outcome together! 
  But first, we need to realize a war is what  must be won but we must show our maturity by how we obtain this win. Doing our research like the fact that, "Arizona is one of eight states that does not increase funding to account for student poverty, resulting in lower funding for the state’s higher poverty school districts" (Education Law Center) can help strengthen our pull. All children are equal, we all go through the steps of education but we all don't get the same chances as the other. Education is a part of our daily lives, giving the students the chance to achieve their greatest potential is what we are fighting for! Not just for students but also for teachers, for school employees for everyone who thinks they have no voice, we are fighting for those little people.   
   Overall, as you can see from the information that I have given you Arizona needs help. We all need a win-win! We want the best for the children as a stakeholder or partner you will be able to help make that change for a child by joining the movement and helping AZ. This blog will be dedicated to bring to light this problem in AZ communities, for parents and the districts and help create ways on how we can help as a community to bring more funds for those AZ low income schools.
