[The three things that is possibly needed for school]

Well, the three possible top things that schools would definitely needs are supporting the students that have at least proficiency or above. Thing is everyone doesn't have a job that is needed and the head of the household is struggling through paying bills that are like hundred times more than the expenses that share with public. Many citizens have like dreams to achieve and goals to meet, but how will they achieve without having a job or at least something that will keep their bills to the amount expected. Why are they using money to trade off things that is not really needed?
One of the things the schools improvement needs would be supporting the B and A plus students with bills to pay, since they are striving to achieve in their dreams and goals. Another thing that is common in the states is that students are becoming violent since bills and cost are way too expensive. Last, but not least, the improvement is needed for schools is that for every class period listed in each school, there is always a bunch of homework and students have less time doing chores for their parents and relatives, also the students' families are in trouble with the cost of every bill that is needed to be paid.
To me, that seems like the concerns that I would mention because I am a student here and a 12th grader. But things are possible to get behind the regular priorities and many are struggling with their surroundings. Like housings are getting rotten and all they can think of is to pay for the phone bill, light bill, and rent bills. But surely takes a quite a while for the rotten wall or ceiling to get fixed.

What does ecomics, environmentals, and education has to do with costs and bills?

Thanks for your time.
