Inquiry and Research: Examining Sources For Faulty Reasoning And Logical Fallacies (TEKS.ELA.6.12.H.ii) Practice Test

In my district, school funding is a disaster that ruins every classroom. Our buildings are falling apart, and every single class has fifty students stuffed like sardines. Teachers are fleeing in droves, and not one campus can afford basic supplies like paper or pencils. If the state doesn't double funding tomorrow, Texas schools will basically shut down next week. Meanwhile, fancy stadiums and shiny offices get all the money, while kids are forgotten. Anyone who says the system is fine obviously hasn't stepped into a Texas school. The only responsible choice is to pump huge amounts of cash in immediately, or education here will vanish.

Debates about border policy usually ignore the truth that people in big Texas cities don't care about safety, while folks in small towns always do. Urban residents just want trendy food trucks and concerts, so of course they oppose any strong border measures. Ranchers and border communities, who are the only ones who understand the land, know that strict patrols are the only answer. City leaders sit in air-conditioned offices and pretend they understand rural life, but they don't. Until we listen only to small-town voices and stop letting city people vote on border issues, Texas will keep making soft, clueless decisions.
