Answer:
PART A
A. Toldson thinks integration is less important in ensuring equal access to quality education than Noguera
PART B
C. “There are some high-performing schools that are predominately black. So just the presence of a diverse student population I think is desirable, but I don’t think is absolutely necessary.” (Toldson, Paragraph 25)
B
“when we allow schools to remain segregated by race and class, we are denying kids the learning opportunities because, as was true before the Brown, the resources go with the most affluent children." (Noguera, Paragraph 16)
Explanation:
From Part B, we can infer that Toldson thinks that integration is desirable but not absolutely necessary and that Noguera believes that Integration would lead to better access to quality education for both blacks and whites.
Toldson in paragraph 13 believes that no matter the socio-economic status of black people who move in large numbers into a certain neighborhood, there is always a sense that their presence in such a neighborhood and school is bringing down the (quality of) school and neighborhood to a certain point while Noguera in paragraph 30 is more concerned about denying children of black races access to quality education even as such opportunities are determined by where they live in. Noguera believes that with the general talk about achievement gap, not much is being done in terms of integration.
In paragraph 16, Noguera pointed out that opportunities are denied to children that are divided against segregation lines because resources goes with the most affluent children.
Toldson acknowledges that some high performing schools are predominantly black, and that while integration is desirable, it is not absolutely necessary.
