The New, New Deal

As an intro into WWI and WWII, we are currently studying President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. After learning about the list of “New Deal” organizations FDR founded, we were asked to make three ourselves. My group created the Reduce Plastic Use Act (RPUA), Distributing Equal Education Act (DEEA), and the English Learning Act (ELA)

The RPUA will reduce the amount of plastic used in America. Plastic waste is increasing by the day, and in order to gradually fix this dilemma, the RPUA will make stores charge 25 cents for plastic bags and give speeches to public buildings and places about plastic waste. By reducing the plastic use in America, we will slowly be benefiting the environment.

DEEA will provide under-served students with an equitable education. Money from the government will be spent to help fund schools in poorer districts. Even though the budget for schools in affluent districts will be lessened, DEEA will be providing under-served students with an equitable education. They will also hire experienced teachers willing to work in impoverished districts and will fund-raise for school supplies.

The ELA will widen the fluency level of immigrants or who have a low speaking level. They will hire teachers or people willing to teach English to Immigrants. The ELA will be government-run and paid and lessons will take place at public schools on the weekends. Their lessons are open to kids, adults, and senior citizens.
