This data proves how important sustainable schools are for the students, teachers and the environment. This issue occurs when school facilities have no system to track and regulate their usage of resources therefore excess supplies of electricity, water and materials are used. When schools, which are large organizations, start to use their resources irresponsibly they begin to waste the economy's supplies as a whole. The data i have collected also shows the exceptional progress schools have undergone with the help of sustainable school programs, by reducing their numbers of resource usage sufficiently.

EXPLAIN WHY IT IS AN ISSUE - STATE YOUR MAIN POINTS AND BACK IT UP WITH EVIDENCE
This is an issue due to the fact that, there are plenty of schools across Queensland and with each of them over using and producing materials and resources, this will not only bring down the education systems budget but the health of our already deteriorating environment. Australia's national education budget stands at around 40.44 billion dollars per year, this amount can be drastically reduced by introducing sustainability plans for schools and having both staff and students educated about following the plans. It is a great concern for the environment because if we continually damage it we will have no future.

QUESTION 101 Three actions that the assistant principal should take toward resolving the conflict between parents and teachers include the following: 1. The assistant principal should gather information regarding the heated debate topics among the various groups in a way that makes all stakeholders feel that their thoughts and opinions are valued, and that allows the assistant principal to learn about the topics fueling the disagreements between groups. Surveying both parents and teachers regarding the ecology program would be an important action.

The author of the article expresses his concerns about the ‘truth’ of the current situation. As stated by Mr. Rick “if we want to be able to say that we care about our children’s health and education, we must address the state of the buildings that they learn and live in for hours every day”. While there is merit to this statement, I also believe cleanliness begins at home. With the current state of public schools; the parents and teachers should not only blame persons in charge but instead look to themselves.

Allowing the causes and effects of climate change to be taught in public schools is a major step in changing society’s outlook on climate change. School Districts should be encouraging students to learn how to prevent the effects of climate change rather than refusing to teach it as part of curriculum; members of the Quakertown School Board have recently been criticized for refusing to buy textbooks that explain climate change. Meanwhile, Quakertown Borough has information regarding how to conserve water and energy featured on their website. In addition, personally investing in solar panels or other clean energy to fuel individual needs is helpful in the prevention of further climate change despite being minor. As a nation, remaining part of the Paris Agreement would have been beneficial in the prevention of climate change, however we can still make an effort to reduce the use of nonrenewable resources by employing clean energy solutions, like solar and wind power, whenever possible.

If art and literature, mathematics, science, economics, statistics, history and religion is taught, why not teach the fundamental importance of ecological conservation? “Students are like sponges and observe information well if they learn about it starting at their early childhood education and throughout their school years. They should be aware of the importance of recycling, and therefore I strongly believe each school district should implement into their lesson plans a lesson of recycling in order for the students to begin recycling themselves” (Permalink).

The essay that I will be writing is going to be about funding for education, specifically in Oklahoma. Lack of funding for education is a problem all over the country, but Oklahoma is interesting in that the state is ranked 48th in education and there could be a correlation between that and the lack of funding. I’m majoring in elementary education, and I would like to be either a first or second grade teacher after college. As a requirement for one of my scholarships I will have to teach in a Title 1 school in Oklahoma for four years, which means that I will be experiencing the results of lack of funding first hand. This issue does not only affect me though, everyone has either been in school or is currently going to school, and in the future maybe have children in school.
