    One of Betsy Devos’ speeches in August 2015 at the SXSWedu convention in Texas emphasizes her education vision on the issue of unequal education access in America. Her speech uses the propaganda technique of emotional appeal to convey messages about this social issue. In the speech, Betsy Devos uses a lot of emotional appealing phrases, such as calling traditional public education system a “dead end,” and labeling public schools as “low performing” schools (Strauss). She is denigrating the quality of traditional public schools, she thinks that traditional public schools are simply not as good as charters or privates.

    In David Callahan’s article titles, As Government Retrenches, Philanthropy Booms, the idea of philanthropists having too much power is discussed. Callahan talks about struggles that the state of Michigan has had in the past and how the assistance of philanthropy has helped in tackling issues that the government would not. Philanthropists use their funds in order to change things in society, some examples that are given are funding charter schools and aerial surveillance cameras in Baltimore. While it is good for philanthropy to be influential in creating and funding things like this, the author states that this also gives the philanthropists too much power due to their nimbleness, or ability to fund whatever they want. Some rules that Callahan thought could be created in order to prevent total power by philanthropy include more transparency in reporting charitable gifts, and stricter limits on tax-deductible…

    Elementary school is the cornerstone of a child’s development. Elementary school is where a child starts to understand the concepts of responsibility, determination, and success which manifest themselves in the guise of the end of year report card. The articles written by Erica Ehm and Cayla Hochberg convey two opposing sides of the recent TDSB union disputes. These articles are in disagreement about who is responsible for the lack of report cards given out to the children. I find the latter article by Cayla Hochberg to be the most convincing.…

    Public school funding has been an ongoing issue for years. No matter how wealthy the district is, there can be an issue for all when the funds are not distributed fairly. Without enough funds from the government, schools cannot provide adequate supplies for the classroom, cannot provide sufficient transportation cost and cannot pay salaries to those involved in the school district such as teachers and administration. Public school funding also helps provide reduced and free meals to students who qualify. What a lot of people don’t know is where all of this money is coming from and who is paying for it.…

    When it came time to write essays, he didn’t break down the essay writing process nor would he discuss the topic of our essay. As a result, I was unable to write coherent essays and I’m now remedial English classes so I can catch back up. According to Education Trust, there is a large amount of educators who are not qualified in the subject they teach, as they did not do much research into it during their college career. With teachers who are unfamiliar with their own subjects, how are children supposed to learn from them? And to top it off, Sabrina Tavernise reports that poor families are much more likely to receive these under-qualified teachers since they are not “priveliged enough” to receive a prosperous education like affluent families do.…

    Society’s high standards do not make the path to success any easier for children. So the better prepared a child is, the better chances of children succeeding in their education and life.

    The fact that the money must come from somewhere is inarguable, yet Kelly’s claim rests on the questionable belief that the money would come exclusively from the private sector, as well as assuming the way the public would react to such a change. We already have a national budget for education, and if we as a nation can begin to prioritize the future generations, we’ll not only have fulfilled a certain undeniable moral obligation towards our children and the propagation of our own legacy but also secured our future. Because what is our future, if not contained within education and…
