Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conflict theorists argue that schools tend to reproduce the stratification system by perpetuating social and economic inequalities. They believe that education is not distributed equally, and that most educational benefits go to students from higher class statuses, while students from lower class statuses are disadvantaged. Hence, option C is the best choice. The other options (A and B) are incorrect because they do not align with conflict theory's perspectives on education.
