        A. Thesis Statement:

II. Ethos
        A. Statement: Landsburg establishes ethos through his examples from his
            dealings with his daughter’s teachers.
               a. Proof: “At that point, we decided to share our concerns with the
                   teachers. They were genuinely apologetic and there were no more
                   incidents. I have no doubt that the teachers were good and honest
                   people who had no intent to indoctrinate, only a certain naivete derived
                   from a provincial upbringing” (pg. 4, paragraph 1)
               b. Commentary: Using examples from his dealings with teachers
                   establishes credibility with his audience, parents, as a fellow parent.
                   Parents are more likely to believe and listen to a fellow parent than
                   someone who is inexperienced with teachers and parenting in general.
                   Establishing his credibility helps Landsburg reach his audience so that
                   he can inform them of the indoctrination of their children. This also
                   may help him reach another possible audience, teachers, because he
                   says that he “has no doubt that the teachers were good and honest
                   people.” By giving the teachers the benefit of the doubt in their
                   intentions, he shows that he is reasonable to other teachers and they
                   will be more likely to listen to him about the diversity in opinion that
                   he is trying to inform them about.
