In contrast 16% of all children in state schools are entitled to school meals. - Morgan]]> 2017-03-30 08:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/zoeterry/2017dsocialclass_education/wish/163623290 https://padlet.com/zoeterry/2017dsocialclass_education/wish/163623488 Pupils achieving the equivalent of two A-levels at grades A-E who are entitled to FSM(free school meals) was 29%. Whereas pupils not entitled to FSM , 57% of them achieved two A levels at grades A-E. Furthermore even in secondary school there is a clear distinction between the two groups of pupils. With 79% of Non-FSM achieving 5 GCSES at grades A*-E whereas pupils entitled to FSM only had a rate of 57%. This has a direct correlation to family background and income that suggests pupils with more money in their family are more likely to be successful in state education by Steven

ESRC Study (Economical and Social Research Council) A project on students' perspectives on their teaching and learning at secondary school level. 
Social inclusion in schooling entails the right to be included - socially, intellectually, culturally and personally. However, nearly all the students in the ESRC study, apart from the middle class boys, felt they were not really heard in the classroom. While the working-class boys were the most vocal and vociferous in their opposition to officially pedagogic discourses. Example from interviews of working class boys aged 12-13 at secondary school level: ''Some teachers are a bit snobby, sort of. And some teachers act as if the child is stupid. Because they've got a posh accent. Like they talk without 'innits' and 'mans'.''
The working-girls sense of alienation was just raw and tangible - Another example - ''Sometimes we feel left out.'', ''Because you know teachers are not meant to have favourites.''
A potent sense of unfairness and unequal treatment can be seen in their attitudes to levels of teacher attention.

They represent not just the way things are in relation to social class and education, but the way they have always been.
