The nature and purpose of schooling

Description

Use the following guiding questions to help your thinking when composing a critical essay:

1. In your own words, what questions, problems, or issues does the author attempt to address or bring together? What is the main argument or organizing idea? What evidence does the author provide to support their claims and position?
2. What questions does the reading raise regarding the nature and purpose of schooling? What practical implications, if any, does the reading have for today’s schools?
3. What serious omissions are left out of the reading? How do these omissions distort or undermine the author’s position? Critique the author’s argument.
4. In what ways does the reading reinforce, extend, challenge, or oppose your own views? Be specific
