Critical Reasoning And Public Education

The main critical reasoning strategies that I emphasized in my essay were analyzing the facts and seeing the issue from the perspective of other people. With the issue of public education, it is important to interpret the statistics about who exactly benefits and who is harmed by the lack of education. Poor minorities are typically affected from public education, but wealthy are able to take advantage of the system. The purpose of public education should be to give everyone an equal shot, but wealthier minorities tend to have better grades and test scores than poor minorities. Rather than punishing certain groups and helping others, public education should be replaced by a plan to improve low-income schools. If all the elementary and high schools in the U.S. become more equal, then there will be no need for racial preferences in the college admission system. This will help to both eliminate complaints of reverse discrimination against Whites and Asians, while it will improve the educational situation for poor Blacks and Latinos.
