Occupy the Classroom

Nicholas D. Kristof details in his op-ed how while Occupy Wall Street successfully shines a spotlight on an issue in America, the solution lies not in alterations to the payment of taxes, but rather in going to the root of the problem; education. By instituting programs to ensure that underprivelaged people have a better education, they're more likely to graduate school, get a job, get their own house, etc.

He does a good job of nabbing everybody's attention with a clear, progressive thesis that starts off with Occupy Wall Street (which everybody by this point has most likely heard of) and steers into a proposition of action that's described with detail while still being concise, and is well-backed by evidence of similar successful attempts at what he's proposing.
