The April 2025 - June 2025 prompt is based on
Education Reform
Your writing submissions for the April 2025 - June 2025 quarter should be centered on the following prompt:
​
A recent development in the United States political sector is the removal of the Department of Education via Trump's new policies. Before this, the educational community faced issues with inadequate pay for teachers, gun violence, and the banning of books from school curriculum. Throughout this quarter, we invite you to explore Education Reform and its prevalence in society, whether it be the necessity of its change, the fate of its success, or your personal experience in the system. ​
​
As always, we urge you to do some brief research. You can begin with the articles linked below! Happy writing!
