Technique Post #4 - An introduction (or two)

So, in accordance with our current topic of discussion in class and for the upcoming paper assignment, let's use one of the standard introduction types in, um, introducing education reform.

Introduction Type: Some Say This

Our nation is currently struggling with a topic of the utmost seriousness - a topic which is demanding decisions at every level of government, decisions which will undoubtedly affect every household in America. Education is certainly vital to the longevity and progress of our great nation, and reforms must constantly be made in order to improve outdated systems. Utah is not a stranger to its citizens pushing for reform, and is now on the verge of making a decision on the topic of a voucher system. Experts on both sides of the debate have offered opinions on the merits and flaws of the proposed system: either vouchers will allow parents to make a choice in education and incite competition and therefore improvement in public school systems, or it will pound an already struggling public school system into the hard Utah soil. We will here explore the two sides of an already heated debate and decide which side of the fence we should be on.

That's it - simple as that!
