what did sugarman identify 4 acts to barrier educational achievement
(cultural dep)
- WC subcultures encourage immediate gratification - MC deffered
2.fatalism = nothing can be done
3.present time orientation -no plans for future
4.collectivism - group succeeding not individual.
evaluation of external factors
- DETEMINSITIC.
assume WC households suffer from M & C .D. and this will lead to poor achievement at school.
This very PESSIMISTIC VIEW - suggest children have no free will of how well they do.
2.REDUCTIONIST.
internal factors - teacher labelling, pupil subculture may have significant role. =outside school explanations r oversimplified.
- REJECT WC PARENTS VALUE EDUCATION LESS.
BLACKSTONE & MORTIMORE
found attend parents evening less due to longer hours at work or put off by MC atmosphere.
May want to help with education but lack skills & knowledge to do so. - failing schools (WC) less effective systems of parent teacher contact.
makes it more difficult to keep track of Childs progress.
5.KEDDIE cultural explanations MYTH VICTIM BLAME.
WC culturally different & not deprived.
WC fail bc dominated by MC values. schools should recognise WC culture n build on strengths.
- introduction of compensatory education has been partially successful in addressing deprivation & raising achievement of WC students.
list inside school factors
- labelling
2.steaming - pupil subculture
- pupil class identiies & the school -link between inside & outside.
evaluation of inside school factors
- DETEMINSITIC
assume teachers negatively label WC pupils + inevitably lead to SFP.
PESSIMISTIC VIEW.
no free will - (fullers girls)
2.REDUCTIONIST
other factors may play a part i.e. external. this explanation may be oversimplified. - Marxist- labelling theory.
argues labels r not just result of teacher prejudices but instead stem from the fact the whole structure of the education system reproduces class divisions.
4.both labelling & SFP may not be result of school but other social n cultural institutions i.e. media, politics, religion.

what is the educational triage
GILBRON N YOUDELL
‘those who will pass anyway’
‘those with potential’
‘hopeless casses’ - WC labelled n ignored = SFP.
why did schools have an educational triage??
bc under pressure from marketisations to select pupils due to competition n league tables.
