My research question is how does the difference in Illinois public school funding affect the students’ futures, regarding career paths and emotional states. This question examines the unequal funding in Illinois public schools and the effects that follow cutting or increasing funding. I will interview my dad because he is a high school teacher at a large Illinois public school, so he possibly has observed the impact of changes in school funding.
These are the questions I plan on asking:
1. Have you noticed any changes in your school due to a change of funding?
2. Along with changes in your school, have you noticed any fluctuations in student performance?
3. What areas of the school would be affected first when funding decreases?
4. Do you believe that funding affects teachers’ attitudes towards teaching?
5. How would increasing school funding impact your school?
6. Do you believe that your school would suffer if funding was cut in any way?
