According to the Statesman the article, “Why school choice is the wrong choice” by Sara Stevenson. Stating that Democrats and Republicans seek the same means in improving education, however, the Texas House coalition banned to save public education in Texas. In addition, Sara acknowledges the fact that public education as a nation cost nearly 600 billion annually. The readers are introduced to Betsy Devos who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump, in her plans to promote vouchers, cyber education and more. Sara indicates the problems that may be faced with vouchers due to not knowing if the families use it for education purposes or for example purchasing a family computer. Another issue being faced is children who do not have the opportunity to accept the voucher do not have the same capabilities of education. Which then comes to question what happens to those children in need, people cannot ignore the fact that many families do not have the same amount of funding’s to support private schools. Sara states; “If those with the interest, extra funds and transportation can choose another option for schooling, what happens to the many children who don’t have that support?” This can be seen as an ideal movement to want to seek better education as a whole for all children regardless if they have the voucher funding or now.
Overall, I believe Sara’s commentary on education is well written she uses pathos, and ethos to get to her readers. In order to pursue them into seeking better education for children of all backgrounds.
