Compare and contrast Comer’s and Moses’ models for improving schooling and increasing equity for children. Do Moses and Comer agree with the Principle of Correspondence? Do they support the Four Functions of Schooling? How? Are they proposing new functions? If so, how do the functions they posed reflect the needs and values of our society?

Comer stated that participation as a responsible citizen in a democratic society involves actions such as influencing political structures, participating in community action programs, helping to promote racial understanding, keeping up to date with political affairs, and becoming a community leader. Do you agree or disagree? Why? What roles should schools play in fostering these qualities? Would Moses agree or disagree with Comer?

Is Bush’s "Leave No Child Behind" legislation an example of cultural appropriation? Explain.
