Problem: As the authors state, "According to Gallup polls on adult attitudes toward education, adults expect schools to teach basic skills, discipline children, and instill values and a sense of responsibility" (p. 7). To what extent do you agree or disagree with that statement? In your opinion, what should be the point(s) of education? Should education be conservative, reinforcing the status quo and creating students who can be 'plugged into' pre-existing roles and positions? Should it be progressive, encouraging students to fight injustice and inequality? Should it be revolutionary, with the goal of creating new social forms and a new society? Or should the point(s) of education be something altogether different? If so, be specific.
