- Marketisation reproduces inequality
- League tables
- Schools get more funding for being higher in league tables based on the schools results
- They will try to attract middle-class students as they see them as their best chance to get better results, more funding, and attract more m/c students.

- Bartlett claims that this leads to:
- Cream-Skimming: Selecting higher ability pupils that achieve more and cost less to teach
- Avoiding pupils with learning difficulties and those likely to get poor results, as it will damage the league table position
- Schools get more funding for being higher in league tables based on the schools results
- Gillborn + Yodell: A-C economy and educational triage.
- Schools concentrate everything on those who have the highest potential.
- Schools categorise pupils into 'pass anyway', 'those with potential', and 'hopeless cases'
- Linked to labelling
- Parental Choice
- M/C parents have the economic and cultural capital to choose 'good' schools.
- The Myth of Parentocracy
- It is made to sound like parents get fair choice, but M/C parents actually have more choice.
