Background
===For the most part, education has become available to pretty much everyone, but that doesn't mean that everyone takes advantage of that opportunity. Today, in the United States, mostly everywhere you look there are school systems available to anyone regardless of their social or economic class. Nevertheless, there is still a differentiation between those with an education and those without. It's not so much about social class, but it now deals with economic status.

In some times in history, money was that which defined class and a person's value, but fortunately with time, that view has come to deteriorate.===

Current Education
===The best part about the evolution of time, is that there is now a recognition that money does not make the person, but in the present, it does affect the quality of life, as it always has. There is no one event that can explain the affects of education, but there are obvious differences that money causes, today and in the past. The way in which Twain has Huck Finn become educated can be compared today because it all in a way creates stereotypes. The stereotypes in the past were that those with education were better than those without, and although America has evolved into a more accepting nation, there is still the notion that those with an education are somewhat superior to those without, mostly brought on by the fact that those with an education usually make more money.

Modern Problem
===Although there may be a wide opportunity for education by the facts that education is: free, in all locations, and has many educated instructors, people don't make the most of it today. One example of that would be the way in which there are many [|DROPOUTS] from school. It can seem as though all the work the people before us did to create a public school system, is taken for granted. Education was more of a luxury only experienced by the priviledged; it grew into an accessible aspect of life, now as the general public has the option of getting educated, it is not always taken advantage of, especially when an individual attends school and simply chooses to quit.=== ===That is one of today's problems in the education system. Although the dropout rates are [|DECLINING], it is still an issue when there are young adults abandoning the chance for an education.===
