The demonised pupil identity
A black or white, working class, hyper sexualised identity. This pupil is seen as unitelligent, peer-led. They are seen as a culturally deprived under-achiever.
How do these pupil identities link to ethnicity?
Archer believes that ethnic minority pupils are more likely to be seen as either demonised or pathological pupil identities.
As a result of this, teachers treat pupils of ethnic minorities differently in terms of how they might challenge behaviour etc.
This will the impact on their feelings around school and ultimately their achievement.
