Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Negotiating Opportunities, Jessica McCrory Calarco argues that the middle class has a negotiated advantage in school. Drawing on five years of ethnographic fieldwork, Calarco traces that negotiated advantage from its origins at home to its consequences at school. Through their parents' coaching, working-class students learn to follow rules and work through problems independently. Middle-class students learn to challenge rules and request assistance, accommodations, and attention in excess of what is fair or required. Teachers typically grant those requests, creating advantages for middle-class students. Calarco concludes with recommendations, advocating against deficit-oriented programs that teach middle-class behaviors to working-class students. Those programs ignore the value of working-class students' resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility, and they do little to prevent middle-class families from finding new opportunities to negotiate advantages in school.

Drawing on over 500 interviews, the book includes vivid stories from working-class children and young people. It looks at class identity, and the effects of wider economic and social class relationships on working-class educational experiences.

Download or read book Oxford and Working class Education written by Sylvia Harrop and published by Hyperion Books. This book was released on 1987 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes available to modern audiences the first of four major 20th-century reports dealing with adult education in England and Wales. It contains a facsimile reprint of the second, revised edition of the original 1908 document, with supporting essays by four well-known adult educators. The first two essays set the scene for the making of the report; the other two reflect on the report from the present day. An introduction (Sylvia Harrop) highlights both the issues involved in the making of the report, including the role of government, and the reasons why working-class men and women are largely absent from higher education 80 years later. "The Making of the Oxford Report" (Bernard Jennings) sees as the main issue behind the report the demand from working men for higher education. "The 1908 Report: Antidote to Class Struggle?" (Roger Fieldhouse) presents an opposing viewpoint and chronicles efforts by governments, judiciary, and employers to break socialist forces from the 1880s onwards. "The Report in Retrospect" (W. E. Styler) presents a perspective from personal experience. "The Cost and Value of Higher Education to Working-Class Women" (Jane Thompson) looks at the situation from the viewpoint of the almost overwhelming obstacles faced by working-class women trying to enter what is still a predominently male preserve. The text of the report follows. It addresses educational movements affecting workers, the Oxford University Extension Movement, the demand of workers for university education, and establishment of tutorial classes. (YLB)
Download or read book When Middle Class Parents Choose Urban Schools written by Linn Posey-Maddox and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades a growing number of middle-class parents have considered sending their children to—and often end up becoming active in—urban public schools. Their presence can bring long-needed material resources to such schools, but, as Linn Posey-Maddox shows in this study, it can also introduce new class and race tensions, and even exacerbate inequalities. Sensitively navigating the pros and cons of middle-class transformation, When Middle-Class Parents Choose Urban Schools asks whether it is possible for our urban public schools to have both financial security and equitable diversity. Drawing on in-depth research at an urban elementary school, Posey-Maddox examines parents’ efforts to support the school through their outreach, marketing, and volunteerism. She shows that when middle-class parents engage in urban school communities, they can bring a host of positive benefits, including new educational opportunities and greater diversity. But their involvement can also unintentionally marginalize less-affluent parents and diminish low-income students’ access to the improving schools. In response, Posey-Maddox argues that school reform efforts, which usually equate improvement with rising test scores and increased enrollment, need to have more equity-focused policies in place to ensure that low-income families also benefit from—and participate in—school change.

Download or read book The Class Ceiling written by Friedman, Sam and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politicians continually tell us that anyone can get ahead. But is that really true? This important best-selling book takes readers behind the closed doors of elite employers to reveal how class affects who gets to the top. Friedman and Laurison show that a powerful ‘class pay gap’ exists in Britain’s elite occupations. Even when those from working-class backgrounds make it into prestigious jobs, they earn, on average, 16% less than colleagues from privileged backgrounds. But why is this the case? . Drawing on 175 interviews across four case studies - television, accountancy, architecture, and acting – they explore the complex barriers facing the upwardly mobile. This is a rich, ambitious book that demands we take seriously not just the glass but also the class ceiling.
