Many EMG children also do not have that initial push of how important education is for them. They may have a fatalistic view on where they see themselves fitting into to society which may rub on to their children. Sugarman did a lot of research on this and found it as being one of the top reasons why children can fail in education. Children who believe their future is already predetermined will not put as much focus on education as they think they will only get working-class jobs. As parents may be new to the UK or not speak English they may not understand the educational system and the application process.
Poor nutrition affects health which will lower children’s energy levels. This may result in more absences from school due to illness and concentrating in class. Lack of financial support can affect pupil’s underachievement as they may not be able to afford the right equipment and miss out on experiences which would enhance their educational achievement. Outline some of the reasons why different pupil’s subcultures exist in schools. One reason why different pupil subcultures exist in schools is a result of negative labelling.
This is because if the parents lacks this they wouldn't be able to encourage and help their child with their studies in the same way others do. This affects working class children more because their parents tend to be less well-educated and reduces the child's chance of achieving high in life as they may become less developed than another family leading onto my next point involving Bernstein. However, you this is criticisms by the fact working class parents cannot help their child because they have to work long and tiresome hours to live a decent life. Therefore, you cannot blame all working class parents for having a lack of interest if they are working to pay bills. Another cultural factor that might affect educational chances was argued by Bernstein.
Intellectual development is one aspect to cultural deprivation. Many theorists argue that many working class children lack equipment at home for example books and toys, so they can’t prepare themselves for school. The reason for the lack of equipment is because their parents get low paid working jobs so they can’t afford the equipment. Even if the parents can afford books J.W.B Douglas (1964) found that the parents wouldn’t help their children with reading or give them enough support for school. Basil Bernstein and Douglas Young (1967) found that middle class mothers would buy books and toys that would encourage their thinking and reasoning skills and prepare children for school.
Some teens have personal reasons that are sometimes urgent, and staying in school isn't an option. Although there are many understanding reasons not to raise the age, many economists have found that over the last 20 years, higher drop out ages do matter. It didn't only improve graduation rates, but entrance to colleges and career outcomes. If the students have to stay in school longer, they have more options such
He argues that this is due to working-class parents being less likely to support and encourage their child’s intellectual development at home, therefore they are intellectually deprived compared to the middle-class pupils they are at school with. Sociologists such as Douglas believe that working-class homes often lack the books, educational toys and activities that would stimulate a child’s intellectual development. Language is another factor that is believed to create a social class difference. Basil Bernstein (1975) identified a language difference between the middle-class and working-class. He said the working-class are more likely to use the ‘restricted code’ which include limited vocabulary and is based on the use of short and unfinished, grammatically simple sentences, whereas the middle-class are more likely to use the ‘elaborated code’ which includes a wider range of vocabulary and is based on longer and grammatically more complex sentences.
There is a leading-on of the effect to the firing teaching because they were not enough students to come to the school, in this would cause extreme in the implication of the school which is the various subject that they have offer, there would be fewer A-Level on the offer and the offer in HAP they may resort in BTEC’s because the limited is the amount of the teacher that the school, therefore the students they will not have to wide on the choice of the courses to study. On the other hand the school they could attempt on the increase of the demand form year 6 it is to show them that
Parents can’t afford good jobs to provide any benefits to their children. Parents don’t have the opportunity to afford an education due to the lack of income. Stress from growing in a poor family might maintain lasting hormonal and immune roles in behaviors that predict disease as an adult. Practical Implications: Providing better benefit to poor families. Allowing them obtain better paying job opportunities.
Because of this and the lack of financial stability, I now work full time in order to pay tuition. If I was not able to get a job due to the economy, I would not be able to attend college, graduate and then have a well-paying job. Because of the cost of education, parents who live in poverty are not able to provide their children with a quality education and when these children grow up and choose not to work and strive for a better education or a better way of living, they will likely remain in poverty. Functionalist theory What purpose does poverty serve from functionalist perspective? Emile Durkheim stated, “The purpose of education is not the same across all societies, but that its purpose in any given society will instead be whatever it needs to be in order to maintain that society.” Even though we do not like
If students don't get punished for not coming to school, then schools will lose money and students will be missing lectures causing them to get bad grades. Students aren't graduating because they have too many unexcused absences. Ditching shouldn't be allowed and if one does ditch, then they must be punished. Some people might say Senior year in high school is a waste of time. I agree, my senior year consisted of cutting classes and not as much work.
