    In this case, the conclusion is stated in terms of saying that budget cutting matters are often based on bad reasoning and insufficient information leading to compromising the quality and productivity in education in terms of reducing faculty numbers. It was instead said that we “should pursue measures that reduce costs and protect our core, not unduly compromising the quality, production, and revenue generation to which faculty are central.” However, the previous statement is an example of using rhetoric by trying to persuade us to not cut teachers when they are truly important to all educational matters. Correspondingly, the argument consists of a naturalistic fallacy that says “Too many people, it makes senses that faculty should be major targets for savings.” This is based on the idea that instead of making other cuts campus wide which most often take place now, that budget cutting matters should also be placed on faculty as well which are the major costs to any institution.…

    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.…

    While this is the more effective argument, there is still a problem with this article, and that being their use of a fallacy. Towards the end of the article, Ronnei writes, “If school meal programs continue to lose money, it won’t just be the menu they cut. School districts will have to cut education funds to cover losses.” (Ronnei 2015), then encouraging Congress to provide more funding so this does not happen. Here, they are using the fallacy false dilemma by making the readers side with them because education is the last thing we would want to be cut, so then we’ll agree with them; that Congress should increase funding, when there could, in fact, be more than just the one option.…
