W/c aren’t culturally deprived, they’re just culturally different. The ed system is m/c dominated and discriminates the w/c, schools should work with it, not victim blame.
What does Blackstone and Mortimore say about Cultural Deprivation as an explanation?
The w/c parents might not place less effort on education, they just don’t attend parents evenings as they work longer hours or are put off by the schools m/c atmosphere. They also might want to help, just dk how.
What do Tryonya and Williams say about Cultural Deprivation as an explanation?
The problem isnt w/c language, its the schools attitude towards it. Schools have a speech hierarchy, labelling m/c as highest, then w/c then ethnic minorities. Therefore affects the way w/c are treated affecting outcome.
