Welcome to Our Blog!

Hello, and thank you for visiting our blog, "Making a Difference". We are two high school seniors from Miami, FL. We were inspired to create this blog after watching "Waiting for Superman" in our U.S. Government class. For the first time, we became aware of the disturbing state of our education system.
In this blog we will explore the current problems our education system faces, possible solutions to these problems, the challenges the education system will face in the future, and other issues surrounding education. We invite you to comment on our posts and share your own opinion on these issues. Let's start a conversation on these issues, so that together we can start to make a difference!
