Tracking in Schools

While researching for paper B, I found an article titled "Detracking in the Social Studies: A Path to a More Democratic Education?" It discussed how detracking social studies classrooms improved the quality of education for students of all races and classes because it allowed the share of information and experience that helped create well rounded citizens.
Audience: This was for an academic audience, sociology backround perhaps, who are interested in the affects of tracking.
Argument: Detracking schools decreases the unequal education students receive.
Ethos: The article is published in a major sociological journal so its findings are considered relevant and respected. The author's article is based on studies and researh so it is credible to the audience.
Pathos: The author stresses how detracking will lead more aware and responsible students and therefore a more democratic society. The audience would agree with these more abstract ideals.
Logos: This would correspond with the scientific studies and research that was done. The audience would find statistics logical would make sense to them.
Effectiveness: I believe that this article would be effective considering the audience it was intended for. It incorporated sociological theories that they would recognize and applied them to the author's findings. The only thing I would critique is that the audience would probably have wanted more quantitative research and maybe a larger sample size than a few classrooms.
