Intellectual development

Home background has an enormous effect on the success of children from working class and underclass backgrounds as they are more likely to suffer from cultural deprivation where they lack the knowledge and skills to succeed. School’s boring and it’s got nowt to offer me. That’s why I usually bunk off. I’ve never read a book at home but that’s what they want us to do in school.
9
Their parents are more likely to be in unskilled occupations, if they are employed, that don’t need qualifications and therefore there will be little value attached to education in the home. Cultural deprivation also means parents won’t usually be able to help with homework.

Cultural Deprivation is: The idea that working class children are disadvantaged, because they do not have the ________ , ________ , ______, and ___________that are important for success in education. Intellectual development: What can’t working class parents help with? Why? Intellectual development: What ways can middle class parents help their children succeed?

Attitudes & Values
13
Working class and ‘underclass’ children are more likely to be socialised into the value of immediate gratification; “I WANT IT NOW!!” Working class families are used to being paid low wages weekly which are generally spent straight away in a hand-to-mouth existence. The idea of working through secondary school for no financial reward or qualifications for the next five years makes it unlikely that they will have the ‘right’ attitude to stick it out.
14
Middle class children tend to come form homes where there is an emphasis on deferred gratification. Their parents have usually waited for qualifications and endured poverty stricken student lives and have the attitude that they can wait for reward. This instils a kind of patience into middle class children which helps them maintain their focus and commitment at school. It took my father seven years to get O and A levels, another 3 for his law degree and another year at law school to become a barrister. I’m following his example because I know I’ll be successful and loaded at the end of it all.
15
Refer to Sugarman’s account of working class subculture
Refer to Sugarman’s account of working class subculture. Read the following statement and identify how Sugarman’s four key features of working-class subculture are illustrated. There are more than you think! ‘I might be under a bus tomorrow, so what’s the point of waiting? I want to enjoy myself now. I’d much rather go out and have a good time while I can, not do lots of extra work. I’ve got no chance of moving up in the world anyway – things are stacked against me. Working hard for tomorrow is for fools. The only way I’m likely to improve my position and wages is by standing together with my mates against the bosses.’

Language
17
A theorist called Bernstein argued that the language codes, or the way they use speech, vocabulary and grammar, of middle class and working class children are responsible for their differential achievement. Big Brother Example:
18
While middle class speech is characterised by broader vocabulary, more detail and grammatically sound structure. Watching this now, I can understand why people complained so much. It isn't just one or two attacks - it's incessant. I still can't figure out what I did wrong. This is so petty, so juvenile, so nasty. There is hatred there and that hurts deeply. I am someone who has never been judgmental, but Jade's behaviour is obnoxious, very aggressive, nasty and suffocating. Because teachers are educated at a higher level and middle class, in the main, it’s like middle class children speak the same language and are therefore at an advantage. Educational success is judged largely on the quality of communication skills and this disadvantages working class kids who speak restricted code.
19
*&^$$%$(*&**! I’m not a *&^$$£%$”** racist!!
The restricted code, spoken mainly by working class children, lacks vocabulary, detail and grammatical structure… *&^$$%$(*&**! I’m not a *&^$$£%$”** racist!!

Exam Technique Q02 Using one example, briefly explain how cultural deprivation may affect educational achievement. (2 marks) How many marks for each of these answers? A. Paid compulsory trips may not be affordable for some pupil’s families B. People with cultural deprivation tend to use a restricted language code whereas schools use the elaborated code C. In some cultures support education a lot, so the children would get support from their family to do well in education D. By not being able to understand the elaborated code children may struggle understanding teachers, textbooks and exams. This affects the working class as they speak the restricted code
