Do you think the US values education as much as Nicaragua?

Our homeland is known as the land of opportunity. Like most poor countries, in this case Nicaragua, this statement is very true. Comparing Nicaragua to the US, it is merely a valley at the base of a mountain.
Here in the Us we take education for granite. Most kids now of these days don't even like to go to school- they hate it! Also, we have plenty of paper, pencils, and other supplies that any Nicaraguan kid would die to have. Most of this just goes to waste because we have plenty to replace it by.
Thanks to good paying jobs, we as a whole have plenty of money. This allows us not only to attend school and college but also provide food, shelter, and necessities. In Nicaragua, families can barely stay alive, let alone send their children to school which they strive to do.
Our nation wouldn't be much better than Nicaragua's if it wasn't for our construct government and individual EDUCATIONS! Every worker knows a different trade than another and with this, it keeps the nation alive. That's Nicaragua's problem, crappy government and lack of EDUCATION, which not only betters one's life but the countries as well!
I'm so thankful to be in the US and not Nicaragua. If only everyone (especially school children) could live life in Nicaragua for at least a day, they would understand and cherish two things. One is why education is so important and the other is how bad they strive through life to obtain it and make their homelands a better place.

Nicaraguan Education

I'm so thankful that I live in the US and not Nicaragua. I have many reasons for this statment too. Besides it being pretty much the poorest countries in Central America, i think its scenery and old history are amazing. Unlike kids in Nicaragua, we take schooling and education for granate. Unlike us, they have to walk to school if they want an education for one. Also, most of their families cant afford supplies and for the shcool itself, so they have to drop out. Another reason out of this is that they have to quit shcool to work and supply income for their struggling families. As a whole, life in Nicaragua is difficult.
