- intellectual deprivation.
- WC parents lack ability to play educational games and do activities to stimulate their child's intellectual development.
- Bernstien and Young-MC parents more likely to play with these toys and games giving MC pupils a head start at school.
- therefore MC pupils more likely to start school able to read and do basic maths and will achieve higher SATs results.
- criticised by Keddie for 'victim blaming'
- WC parents are blamed for WC underachievement. their culture is different, not deficient.
- the education system is dominated by MC values.

- in exams this type of language wont get marks as it cant be understood.
- elaborated code will get the high grades for the sophisticated language and complex language used.
