1.) One of the most serious issues that a diminution of the role of public school portends is the problem of equity of access to learning. - pg. 106
Everyone needs to go to school in this country. Whether it's the traditional public school, parochial school, or home schooling, they need to receive an education. However, if we see a decrease in public schools, this necessary step in development begins to have trouble in succeeding. This is troubling. We cannot allow this to happen.
2.) It is clear that public schooling has produced a much more tolerant society, where people encounter many different ideas and types of people. - pg. 107
This is another key step in education. The fact that socially you can develop. This is a step that cannot be missed, and so many of these first interactions and lessons learned will come from encounters you have in school. So I will agree that public schools play these large roles.
3.) Technology may help put students more in charge of their own learning. - pg. 111
Kids are so connected to technology in their personal lives that undoubtably they will become more connected to school if we utilize technology. I like this quote because it sounds slightly skeptical, whereas the truth is pretty much that. Technology WILL help put students more in charge of their own learning. Absolutely.
