- - - - Working class parents disencourage their children to go onto further education due to taught norms and values and their relationship/ status with money.- connor et al found through group interviews:
        "immediate gratification" refers to getting financle stablity and independence as soon as you can. this is seen in working class children more because they saw their parents struggle for money which panics them and disencourages them to have debt or any sort of discomfort finacially. This panic is due to the awareness or relisation of what it means to be on the bottom end of the economy struggling to pay for dialy needs and having education seenas a privelage. the panic will cause these working class children to become wage slaves because they have nothing to fall back on if things do go wrong finacially.
        Berstien and Fenstien talk about resticted speach code and how to links to low income. Fenstien says " working class chilren are less engaged with th world and have a limited vocbulary whereas middle class have a wider vocabulary and more skill at at manipulating objects" when he talks about middle class children being more skilled in 'manipulating objects" this shows the difference in income between working class and middle class families and the primary socliasation differences. because middle class families have more desposible income they are able to invest in their childrens learning/ development buying educational toys that simulate their brains ready for school. bourdieu says this enevitably means that middle class children are more ready for school and says "schools favour the middle class habitas" this is more due to the elebrated code that they structure all exam questions with but because middle class children are so used to sitting down, listening and being active during brain stimulating activities it means school is like a home from home.
    - - More on material deprivation:
        ( from Gibson and Asthana and the corrolation they found between low icome and poor educational achievement.)
        -higher levels of sickness in poorer homes due to having the cheapest diet/ medicine which means the fall behind in lessons
        -less able to afford the "hidden costs" of free eduction like books, toys for their primary socialisation, reasorces and laptops.
        -poor parents are more likly to use free childcare like grand parents or friends rather than preschool or nursery facilities which cost by the hour
        -because of money being the main sorce of anxiety for the household children will feel a responsibilty to get a job as soon as possibe to get the immediate gratification of money releaving the stress within the household. this means they have competing demands of school and work at the same time.
      - evaluation of material factors:
        although material deprivation is definetly a factor into why working class children find it harder to achieve, its too deterministic to say that it is stopping them from achieving. its an obsticle that makes it harder for working class children to succeed but doesnt ultimatly mean they are going to fail. it shows inequaity in the system. its difficult to say material deprivation on its own causes working class children to fail in education.
