Week 5: Identifying the Elements of Inductive Argumen
The author of "Tutor Trouble" believes that the Chicago Public School system is not giving children who sign up for tutoring any help. She gives evidence of this by showing that half the budget the federal government gives to the Chicago Public School systems for tutoring goes unused. She also says that at least half the children in the school system qualify for after school tutoring. She has a weak argument with the unused budget because more chicago children may not be wanting to go to after school tutoring which could be the sole cause for them having the surplus of dollars to spend. The conclusion emphasized that nothing was more important to recover Chicago's educational standards that once stood at an earlier date. Overall I think that the authors argument was relatively strong because I believe that children should get the funding they need for a better education if they are behind in school. The future generations of our country should have access to as much education as they can get.

I agree with what you said about the children should get the funding to help them get a better education. I've found that in some schools that you have to pay to get any type of tutoring. I think it would help to have more free tutors for students wanting to get help with their school work. I believe it is the reason why some students don't do so good in school.A lot of students think that tutoring is boring so they don't want to try it. They could use the money to make the tutoring more fun to draw in more students that need help.
ReplyDeleteChildren in school should be able to receive the tutoring they need in order to give them a better foundation. If we do not provide them with the proper education that they need then when will they receive it? Beacuse it is certainly not a guarantee that they will have a tutor there at home for them. These children are the future politians and bankers and educators of our society so why wouldn't we want to provide the funds they need in order to make a better tomorrow? At the school i used to attend students who understood the material well could help tutorother peers in order to gain voulenteer hours or extra credit, this helps come up with extra tutors instead of just teachers.
