Answer 5

edu triage - schools only focus on borderline students to move them from a D to a C as Cs and above count to their position on the league table, all other students are seen as hopeless cases and are ignored

Question 6

no - bartlett

Answer 6

cream skimming and silt shifting - criticism of open enrolment - top schools accept m/c who will boost their position on league table and reject w/c who may bring their position down.

marketisation aims to close down schools at bottom of league table but this will never be the case as they will always have an intake of w/c and e/m students who are rejected from the top schools.

Question 7

no - ball

Answer 7

myth of parentocracy - criticises open enrolment - m/c have cultural capital to pick best schools

Question 8

no - whitty and benn

Answer 8

uni fees - put w/c off going to uni

faith schools and specialist schools - have their own selection policies - ‘selection by the backdoor’ - schools have right to select students on faith or talent in specialist subject but secretly select by ability

whitty cosmetic policies - appear to help w/c but in reality put them off edu.

benn - new labour paradox - their policies contradict themselves
