How do conservatives, liberals, and those on the radical left view the problems of schooling? What strategies and policies do they support as solutions? To what extent is one position's "solution" another's "problem?"
What is an Ideal response?
• Radical-Left View: Because schools operate within a social system marked by striking inequality of wealth and power, they fail much of the U.S. population and perpetuate class differences.
• Liberal View: Although schools are educating more young people than ever before, they lack the funds and programs to meet the needs of some categories of the population.
• Conservative View: Schools are a government monopoly that is neither efficient nor accountable. As a near government monopoly, schools fail to educate a significant share of young people.
