School Knoweldge
"The male fifth-grade teacher in this school said, "You can't teach these kids anything. Their parents don't take care about them, and they're not interested." (p. 7)
" A fifth-grade teacher in the other school said she did social studies by putting notes on the board which the children then copied. I asked why she did that, and she said, "Because the children in this school don't know anything about the U.S., so you can't teach them much." (p. 7)
Curriculum
" A common feature of classroom mathematics in both working-class schools was that a large portion of what the children were asked to carry out procedure, the purposes of which were often unexplained, and which were seemingly unconnected to thought processes or decision making of their own." (p. 8)
" In one of the working-class schools the fifth-grade teachers chose "The American Nation: Adventure in Freedom ( Follet 1975)." This text is "designed for educationally deficient secondary school students" (teachers guide, p. 3). It is written on a sixth-to-seventh-grade level. It was intended for " low ability students... and social and emotional problems" (teachers guide, p.3)" (p. 8)
" The teacher's guide explains the sparsity of information by saying that na important criterion of teaching materials for "educationally deficient students" is that "[e]xtraneous subject matter and excessive details should be eliminated in order to present subjects and concepts that are important and also within the[ir] comprehension range... "(p.39)" (p.8)
