Questão Responda
Why do ethnic minorities underachieve? Because of inadequate socialisation at home
What are the three aspects of this? Intellectual/linguistic skills attitudes and values family structures
Intellectual/linguistic skills children from lower-income families lack intellectual stimulation - do not develop reasoning skills - leaves children unequipped for school
Bereiter and Englemann low-income family language is inadequate
Evaluation 2012: English pupils only 3.2 points ahead of non-English pupils when gaining 5 or more A*-C grades Gillborn and Mirza - Indian pupils still do well despite not having English as their first language
Attitudes and Values Black children - sociolised into fatalistic 'live for today' attitude - does not value education - left unequipped for success
Family structures and Parental support (sociologists) Moynihan Murray Scruton Pryce
Moynihan Families lead by lone-parent mothers = children deprived of adequate care, struggle financially - lack of male breadwinner
(support Moynihan) Murray High rate of lone parenthood = lack of adequate male role model = underachievement of some minorities
Scruton Low achievement = failure to embrace mainstream British culture
Pryce (analysis) Asian - family structures are more resistant to racism - gives greater self-worth = higher achievement Black Caribbean - less resistant to racism - lower self-esteem = underachieve
Sewell Black boys underachieve not because of lack of role models but the lack of fatherly nurture/ 'tough love' - difficult for boys to overcome emotional and behavioural difficulties of adolescence.
Biggest difference between Asian students and Black students Black students - nurtured by MTV Asian students - clocking educational hours
Black boys = subjects to powerful anti-school subculture - most boys in Sewell's study felt that pressure came from peers (evaluation) Gillbourn - not peer pressure but institutional racism causes black students underachievement
Gangs offer black boys 'perverse loyalty and love' - presents boys with media-inspired anti-school black masculinity role models (support) Arnot - 'the ultra-tough ghetto superstar, and image constantly reinforced through rap lyrics and MTV videos
Asian families Indian and Chinese pupils benefit from supportive families that have 'Asian work ethic' that places higher value on education
Lupton (support) Adult authority in Asian families is similar to the one that operates in schools - respectful behaviour towards adults is expected.
White working-class families White working-class pupils often underachieve and have low aspirations
McCulloch Ethnic minorities are more likely to aspire to go to university than white British pupils
Evans Street culture in white working-class areas are brutal - pupils learn how to withstand intimidation and how to intimidate others. School becomes a place where power game of the streets play out by disrupting and making it difficult for pupils to learn.
Criticisms of cultural deprivation (sociologists) Driver Lawrence Keddie
Driver Cultural deprivation theory ignores positive effects of ethnicity on achievement. Black Caribbean families provides girls with positive role models of strong independent women
Lawrence rejects Pryce's view that black pupils fail because their culture is weak and instead argues that it's because of racism
Keddie Cultural deprivation = victim-blaming explanation. Ethnic minorities are culturally different not culturally deprived. They fail because the school is ethnocentric (favour white culture)
