A Snapshot of Texas Government in my Life Government and Politics are part of our daily lives. They are in everything and everywhere, from the food that we eat to the clothes that we wear. Government and politics help us organize and live in a civilized manner.

I believe that this process is necessary to assure the applications of the laws stated and the organization of the schools. Even thought, most of the laws created by the different agencies are justified and healthy for our society. I believe that there could be some changes made, such as in the Texas Education Agency allowing all children to enter the PK program without any restrictions. I believe that it is a type of discrimination and segregation that some children are given the opportunity to enter the school system and other are not, as it will beneficial for the intellectual growth of the
