logos, because the author of the article is using facts to support their claim.
ethos, because the author of the article is showing the readers that Vatterott is an expert, so they should trust her opinion.

The author of the article brings up the evidence that homework is putting a lot of stress on families, and that it could make students dislike school. This argument is mainly...

ethos, because people need to trust that families are suffering and want to help them.
pathos, because most people have experienced stress and would feel sympathy for students going through the same thing.
