Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it, which makes it impossible for me to provide you with an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what is happening in this text.
The text you show above presents a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is an argument that was created with incorrect reasoning but was presented as true. This text introduces the logical fallacy known as Straw man. This kind of fallacy causes a person in a debate to reproduce his opponent's argument in a distorted way and with a completely different meaning. We can see this fallacy in the question above because when Trish Harris claims that increasing school hours would help students get better grades on tests, Dan Richardson reproduces this comment completely distorted, claiming that Trish devalued the students and claimed they were the worst students of the district.
