"Public education is a major talking point for Texas' gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial candidates during their races". Politicians generally focus on funding, rather than focusing on improving education. Legislators should focus on finding methods to improve education without spending huge amount of money.The author's intended audience are parents, teachers,and politicians. The author gave some suggestions on how parents need to get more involved in their children's education and teachers need to have a larger role in determining how the state allocates its budgets for schools. Improving education is important and i agree with the author, because if politician don't stop focusing on money and winning their race, our education in Texas will go downhill and it will cause thousands of children to be illiterate and walking in the street of Texas. If we want our children to be great in the future and become lawyers, doctors,teachers etc.. then politicians need to stop caring for themselves and their race  and start  caring  about improving Texas education.
