History of Education Controversy
Education is involved in countless major social problems, problems that go far beyond simply whether or not a child learns anything at school. Parents place an immense amount of pressure of the school system by interjecting their own politics about schooling. Not only does society expect education to edify its values, both spiritual and moral, but it also expects education to readjust for subcultures and nonconforming cultures (Bartkey 235). These problems create controversy between the system and the society; parents do not feel like schools are doing their jobs. The first problem apparent in the education system is the problem of values- moral and spiritual. Therefore, the controversy here is whether it is the purpose or responsibility of the school to teach children good moral conduct. Moral and spiritual values are determined by what society sees as good and desirable. Although the education system should theoretically reflect the views of mass society, when so many different sub cultures interact, it’s virtually impossible for the school to determine a code of conduct (Bartkey 238). Furthermore, when family is still the most important unit, shouldn’t parent be directly involved in crafting the moral fiber of their children? Thus, a controversy within the education community exists between home-school families that take initiative and purposely invoke certain morals and the school system that continually struggles to take the place of parents.
