Biased information defeats every purpose of an argument that a person or persons are trying to make. The article “The Importance of a Good Education” by Diane Ravitch is an article discussing the author’s biased beliefs on the No Child Left Behind bill. The information that the author gives is biased based on the way the author presents her information and that she works at a liberal college. Ravitch fails to contrast the benefit of the math and science scores due to the bill; “The long-term Nation's Report Card (NAEP) results, released in July 2005, showed elementary school student achievement in reading and math at all-time highs and the achievement gap closing” (www.2.ed.gov) She fails to analyze both sides of the argument for the “No Child

Diane Ravitch is the only source used in this argument. She fails to use any information beyond her own personal opinion. Though she is a professor at a Liberally biased college; she has no true factual sources only her opinion. Her target is clearly the educators and the parents. She seems to be trying to scare the readers into seeing her side instead of giving the readers unbiased information and letting the readers decide for themselves.

She takes a very liberal view and aspect towards the subject. Her opinions are very one sided. Her tone in her writing is almost pushy. Like she is attempting to push her views on her audience and force them to only see her views and her side.
Although the author shows only her opinions about her argument. She is failing to create a logical and well written article because she is failing to show any statistics, research, or facts to back up her theories and claims. The author has no true evidence to back any claims she presents.

The author presents her opinions as facts which can be misleading. That's how she tries to evoke these feelings. The argument does not acknowledge or show opposing views. She fails to show any side other than her personal
