Journalist Jonathan Morringson, in his editorial, argues that the state of

education is the result of the inability and inaction of the school boards
and by extension, the government. He supports this claim by first
presenting a background of the amount of correlation between money
and school rankings, showing that the school board has prioritized
acquiring more funds than actually helping their children acquire an
education, then elaborates as to why this attitude and approach
towards education damages the future of America, indicating the
repercussions of alienating students in the pursuit of wealth, and finally
investigates the negative side effects involved that can potentially
happen if the government continues to adopt its attitude of neglect
and isolation. He adopts a critical tone for the education officials.
