Brantlinger's "Dividing Classes: How The Middle Class Negotiates And Justifies School Advantage" - Reflective
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Struggling within a society where class structure is all-important to one's social standing is difficult enough for adults who work hard to assimilate into communities otherwise segregated by economic barriers; however, children have long been the unwitting victims of such social stratification by way of an unjust educational system manipulated by and for the middle class. The extent to which Ellen A. Brantlinger's book entitled Dividing Classes: How the Middle Class Negotiates and Justifies School Advantage pointedly addresses the socioeconomic injustice of caste influence upon academic achievement is both grand and far-reaching; that such issues as standardized testing, vouchers and mainstreaming at-risk students epitomize the power of middle class influence speaks to an educational system that fails to provide for its minority populations.
