Education Flashcards
Hargreaves
Working class boys join anti school subcultures due to labelling.
Willis
Studied 12 working class lads. Chose to reject school values. A career in manual labour was inevitable and masculine. Gained status through anti school subculture norms eg truancy and challenging teachers authority
Mac and ghail
Crisis of masculinity. Grow up knowing they would have a masculine job. Eg mines and factories (industry). But there was a decline in Industry jobs which leaves boys confused so they give up with school work
Gillborn
Teachers negatively label black students unintentionally. This is institutional racism. Self fulfilling prophesy.
Wright
Institutional racism in schools. Afro carribean boys are more likely to be told off. Indian girls are told off for wearing head scarfs. Leads to subcultures forming.
Spender
Boys are noisier and more active so get more attention. They get more praise and dominate class discussions. Girls are invisible.
