The Oak Valley School Board Is Conducting a Very Heated

The Oak Valley school board is conducting a very heated board meeting in which board members and residents are debating the educational goals of the school district. If a parent who was an essentialist were to stand up, which of the following would you expect her to assert,

A) the school district should shy away from all the teaching emphasis on group learning, for that does not allow the individual student to truly learn the meaning of his or her existence.
B) the school needs to focus on stimulating the students' natural curiosity and eagerness to learn, which it is stifling by emphasizing the study of traditional disciplines.
C) the school's current emphasis on "relevance" for students is completely misguided; students will benefit most from the self-discipline and the intellectual growth that studying the classics fosters.
D) the school board will best serve the needs of the students and the community if it emphasizes the subject areas that will most help the students become functioning, productive members of society.
