Question 21 • Social Problems 1: A World in Crisis (IS)

Does the decline of white students in public schools mean that the quality of the schools will decrease?

Answer
A
Yes, predominately white schools are almost always considered “good” schools.
B
No, there is very little evidence of the intersection of race and education.
C
Since this is the goal of desegregation, these schools will definitely benefit.
D
Not necessarily as race is not the only socioeconomic factor that determines success.

Explanation

A decline in the number of white students does not by itself show that a school’s quality will decrease. Student outcomes are influenced by many factors, including family income, resources, and support—not race alone. So the best choice is “Not necessarily as race is not the only socioeconomic factor that determines success.”
