Gutek discusses the evolution of American education since the Colonial period in American Education in a Global Society. While focusing on the importance of language, such as classical, Latin-scientific, modern language, and English, Gutek explores the presence of the inclusive and complete education in the United States. He comments that “the American high school became a comprehensive institution that aimed at social integration while providing some curricular differentiation (171)”. This sentence reflects the summary of what he has discussed in a way that the American education incorporates all cultural diversity, academic achievements, and extracurricular activities.
Moreover, when I was reading the phrase “concerted efforts were made to bring equality of educational opportunity,” I thought of my high school experiences at Andrews. At Andrews, we had a club that promotes equal opportunities for everyone, and people volunteer to tutor students who need help around the community. After I read this chapter, I realized the significant development and of the American education and its efforts to lead the outcome.
