Short Answer:

In this article, students of cities around the state of Texas wrote a legal brief arguing how their lives and education could thrive better if they had the money to make it happen. They argued how the students don't have a say in these decisions, even though they're the ones affected by it. I think that these students are truly remarkable for giving the students a voice in something that affects their education. They really looked into all of the facts and wrote convincing arguments. I respect them, because what they accomplish, if any, affects me as well as it does them. I feel like their efforts will be heard. Even if their initial argument doesn't get approved right away, the idea is still brought up, and that inspires more people to stand up and have a voice in this decision. It will definitely mean something for the future of education. I learned that the state finance system for public education doesn't give much to schools, especially ones that need the extra support to stay functioning. The students' electives and classes are being cut because the state finance system doesn't give them money to keep it running. In conclusion, the system doesn't give enough to the schools. They under appreciate programs such as music and drama, which serves great value to the students.
