Hello friends!

So I'm here again and learning how to blog. I'm not a person who likes to share and write stuff but since is for educational purposes I want to try it.
If you have the power to change the current educational system what would you change and why? I was thinking that the money used right now for education is not being well spent... we still have too many students per classroom and educators have not enough resources to meet everyone's needs. What can we do? They say that we need to be able to get results with what we have, but it is hard and having an assistant in each classroom can be a good help.
