Stephanie: Your conclusion is incorrect; educational research shows that when parents list the things that they most want their children's schools to provide, good discipline is always high on the list.

Stephanie's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that
it focuses on educational research rather than educational practice
it addresses a more general issue than that addressed in Sydonie's argument
it does not counter Sydonie's suggestion that parents have diverse ideas of what constitutes good discipline
the phrase "high on the list" is not specific enough to give useful information about what parents desire from a school
it fails to discuss educators' attitudes toward discipline in schools
