- Education: Inside factors on achievement and class gap
- Labelling
- Concerned with the way in which teachers respond to pupils behaviour
- Gillborn et al: m/c children are more likely to been seen as having the ability to do the higher level exams
- results in w/c being denied the opportunity to obtain higher grades
- Teachers more likely to convey expectations onto m/c resulting in self fulfilling prophecy
- Fuller: Black girls resist labels to do well
- Banding, Setting, Streaming
- Ability grouping in schools, tendancy for m/c higher than w/c
- teachers deny w/c access to higher level knowledge in favour of lower level tiers
- Campbell: higher sets mean higher attainment, bottom sets don't learn at same rate
- Ball: 'Social Barbarism' well off can separate their children from others they consider socially inferior
- Marketisation
- Competitive climate between schools created
- M/c seen as desirable as achieve better results, w/c seen as liability which are barriers to sucsess
- Cream skin higher ability's and silt shift disadvantaged into poorer schools who have to take them for funding
- Gillborn: school league tables create grade economy where schools channel efforts into students likely to get 5.
- lower sets seen to have less ability and are helpless resulting in self fulfilling prophecy
- Labelling
