Here I go over the the cons of privatized education.

My rhetorical text goes over the fact that the privatization of schools can lead to people being closed off from many groups of people with the intended audience my rhetorical text the people who have gone to private schools for most of their lives, and the genre I chosen to talk about has something to do with racial groups. The reason I have chosen to talk about this is because it is something I think about a lot about how private schools are filled with homogenous groups and these people also tend to isolate themselves from people who they are not familiar with and since I have gone to a private school my whole life, I have witnessed firsthand how kids are unfamiliar with people of color as well as different sexual orientation. The first rhetorical strategy I used was logos by mentioning how when people are isolated from other groups of people, they have a tough time transitioning to accepting them fully when they are older and so that is what private schools end up doing to kids and since people must end up paying to go to a private school, it locks out a lot of people from going to one which keeps the flow of the same homogenous group attending that school. The next rhetorical strategy I used within my text is ethos from how I mentioned in an article from the New York Times of statistics of Hasidic Jewish boys’ schools just instruct the kids about only math, English and religion, robbing them of a proper education. The article also mentions the statistics of other private schools such as Greek orthodox and Catholic schools about how on average students that go there achieve better grades on the state tests than both public schools and Hasidic Jewish schools, but that goes into another point that kids in Private schools end up receiving better education then those coming from public schools which also makes having a private education a privilege and since many families cannot afford to send their children to private schools, they have to settle for sending their children to public schools instead which are generally underfunded which lead to kids not receiving the best education possible and kids whose families cannot afford to send their children to private schools are usually minorities which also makes it almost impossible to eliminate the homogenous systems in private schools.
