Based on your reading and reviewing the lecture for module 1, answer the following questions: 1) Which theory of education are you more likely to agree with–Functionalist or Conflict theory? Cite example from both texts? Explain why?; 2) Based on the NYT article “what is being taught in history class?”, how are some parents and communities in the U.S. challenging teachers and schools in how and what we teach our children?
