Entry 5: Ducey's Deuce

I found this (http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/2016/09/17/arizona-needs-more-college-grads-ducey/90363958/) article that basically doesn’t say much written by Gary Ducey. This article is a simple rallying cry for Arizonians that sort of informs us of the new policy Ducey is trying to enact. It talks all about the importance of education and the benefits the state will have from having a highly educated population. He talks about the economic benefits and increase tax revenue.

Ducey does not explain his plan in depth beyond increasing education spending. He does not specify where this money is going beyond what type of schools will be receiving this funding. He does not mention if it is going to teachers, to new books, nothing; no clue as to what the actual plan is in order to help students achieve this. He lists “better career readiness” as one of the goals but doesn’t define what this is or how this plan will achieve it.

As a student Ducey’s plan doesn’t really concern me unless it will somehow help me pay for college. Then yeah sounds good but otherwise I think it’s nice to try and get more people educated but Ducey’s article is more of a piece that says this should happen than anything about how. If it raises my taxes and doesn’t help me that is something I wouldn’t be a fan of but not try and repeal or anything since money going to school is good in general.
