Write an argumentative research paper about a problem in education. Select a focused issue related to K-12 or college education in America and take a position on it, propose an exact solution, and argue towards your position-solution. Your thesis should clearly state what the government, and be sure to specify exactly which part of “government” or another authority or specific individuals, including yourself, should do differently to solve the problem.  Then, your paper goes into details about the focused problem, and argues why your solution is a reasonable one. 

• Outside research is required
• Requires 4  or 5 sources, quoted and paraphrased (with MLA format)
• Must include MLA Works Cited page (with annotations removed)
• READ THIS ENTIRE INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY:  Thesis must make an argument about a FOCUSED problem or issue in the context K-12 or college education and its effect on society, and propose a solution, then your paper presents the problem’s facts and details and makes an argument about why your proposed solution is a reasonable solution…. but the paper must be FOCUSED and not try to “solve the problems of the world in seven pages…”, So NOTE: do NOT write about the entire “U.S. education system” and do not write about the entire state of California, because for one thing there are more than one systems and for another thing you are not writing seven books: you are writing a short research essay, so you must find a way to keep it TIGHT and SMALL so you can really dig into the details of the one focused problem within the larger context of education.  Remember the Place essay… same idea.  So, do not write about the entire K-12 “system” because K is a lot different than 12, and Los Angeles is a lot different than Iowa City.  How about one problem in one particular school district?  Or one controversy about one particular book or one particular method of teaching History, or teaching English, or the Math curriculum, or tutors in Antelope Valley high schools, or science scholarships for college freshman women of color in Los Angeles or Veterans Affairs issues at Mission College…. something like that, something you can handle IN DETAIL in a short essay like this one… 
• Avoid using “I” unless absolutely necessary; also eliminate “you” and “we” statements
