After reading your two texts and reflecting on your own educational journey, write a 750-word synthesis essay* that examines what education is for and what, if anything, should be done to improve the American education system. Using your educational experience and your two texts, take a position that defends, challenges, or qualifies the claims of your authors regarding education’s purpose and the current system’s effectiveness in achieving that purpose. 

 Your essay must be MLA-formatted. For assistance with MLA, visit:
