<<Class - Marxism<<
- Althussar - ideological state apparatus

Bowles and Gintis - myth of meritocracy and correspondence principle

Willis “the lads” study
12 WC lads who reject education end end up in manual jobs as a result of not getting an education.
Bernstein - language codes
restricted code for WC so fail and elaborated for MC so succeed since system built around elaborated code
Bourdieu - cultural capital (LAPS)
- MC have more access to leisure so have more cultural capital eg- museums and literature
Sugarman - subcultural traits MV vs WC
Gerwitz - privileged vs unprivileged skilled choosers
WC and MC have different abilities of choice and therefore WC get placed in worse schools
Leech and Campus - selection by mortgage
MC can afford to live in catchment of good schools and WC cannot so don’t get into good schools
<<Gender - Feminists and Antifeminists?<<
Archer - hyper heterosexual identity
WC victims of symbolic violence and do not get symbolic capital

from family and marriage to career and success
McRobbie - bedroom culture
girls stay in and study w/ friends but boys go out and play football w/ friends instead
Mitsos & Browne - coursework
coursework favours girls > boys so system now benefits girls to succeed further than boys which the men hate
Sewell - feminsation of education
fears new education system is built to benefit girls in school eg- more female teachers hence feminine teaching styles

- Gewitz - MC advantage - privileged and unprivileged skilled choosers
- Leech and Campos - selection by mortgage so MC advantage
<<Ethnicity<<
- Internal factors - factors inside schools
- Ethnocentric curriculum - educational syllabus made surrounding white history and white bias history. EM children struggle to learn this history
- Pupil Identities - Archer
- ideal pupil - white MC w/ natural ability
- Pathologised pupil - Asian WC, overachiever
- Demonised pupil - black or white WC underachiever and peer led
- External Factors - factors outside school
- Language barriers
- English not as a first language so cannot understand teachers and texts
- Bernstein language codes - restricted code
- restricted code as EM are more likely WC

[[CLASS, GENDER, ETHNICITY AND FUNTONALISM CAN BE USED TO EVAL EACHOTHER eg- eval for class would be that boys are the ones who suffer in education not working class, using Sewell’s feminisation of education[[
