1. Copy and Paste your Opening Statement for your ISSUE. Highlight the
FACTS, STATISTICS, EVIDENCE that are mentioned in your speech.
Education:
Donald Trump wants to invest more money into our students, if the states contributes another
$110 billion that leads to $12,000 per student. The United States are spending more than $650
billion dollars on K-12 education each year. We spend more money per student than almost any
other major in the world. D
onald J Trump wants to give education for all students that had the
disadvantage to afford them. He quoted If we can put a man on the moon, dig out the Panama
Canal and win two world wars, then I have no doubt that we as a nation can provide school
choice to every disadvantaged child in America. Donald J Trump also wants to work with
congress on reforms to ensure universities are making a good faith effort to reduce the cost for
colleges. So far we are spending $640 billion on children each year, but adding $110 billion
more will increase more students to have an education.
Jeb Bush had similar ideas as Donald Trump, he also wants the states to contribute money for
students. He quoted What we need is a national focus on fueling innovation and providing
quality choices for every student in this country. The plan calls for reducing the size of the U.S.
Department of Education by 50 percent and for expanding choice, promoting transparency, and
reducing regulations in order to support innovation.Jeb Bush does not want the Federal
Government to pay and he wants to reduce the size of department of education by 50 percent.
Jeb Bush also wants to reduce regulations in order to support innovation.
Donald Trumps plan is bad for students that wants to transfer from public school to private
because students are being given $1,800 and they wont be able to afford a private school which
the tuition is over $11,000. But we need to realize that this plan is good for students that can't
get an education. The students that have the disadvantage to afford any school in general. It is
better for those students that can not afford an education, than students that want to transfer
from a public school to private.

Mr. Trump cited school-choice programs around the country, but rightly said we need to do
more, he added. His plan to ensure school-choice tools for every disadvantaged student in our
nation recognizes that the federal government does not dictate education policies to the states,
and that school choice must be a joint undertaking.

for a fact that Donald Trump was going to treat undocumented immigrants without criminal
records in a humane and compassionate way.
German Lopez believes that criminal justice needs to function more effectively. He believes the
people want the officers to spend more time it takes to calm people experiencing a mental health
crisis. And he quote Police are trained to avoid physical confrontation whenever possible, to
play for time while keeping physical distance to minimize the risk of a tragedy. Democratic
