Describe the challenge you want to address:

In Southeast Queens especially, I don't think many of the schools are engaging the students enough academically. i attend a school that was in revitalization for many years and many programs that should've been within the school was lacking. Education felt subpar even after the school got back on its feet

What is the solution to the challenge?

To solve this I think more funding should go towards more rigourous curriculum for middle to high schoolers in the NYC public school system. Funding for robotics, more advanced sciences & mathematics and leaneing more politically/trade-wise. For residnets, this would increase w ider access to education and more opportunities. More language programs would make students more rounded as well.
