Middle class children can afford to go on more educational trips to sample their own and other cultures so they are more equipped in knowledge in some subjects.

Subculture

To integrate yourself into a anti school subculture pupils must do badly at school by rebelling school rules and achieving less.

Pro school subculture may be discriminated against by the anti school subculture.

Anti school subcultures rebell school rules by giving cheek to the teachers and not doing homwork.

Disruption in classroom - this means that the pro school subculture doesn't get the learn the information they need bringing both school subcultures down.

If people are categorized into subcultures teachers will pay less attention to the anti school subcultures and place more focus on the pro school subculture.

Cultural deprivation

Children that come from working class backgrounds will not have the same motivation as middle class children to achieve good grades in school, in order to go on for further studies and jobs.

Working class families don't socialise their children adequately meaning they lack cultural equipment that they need to do well in their education. Working class children have that laid back attitude and they don't share the same school values as middle class children do to help them succeed in their education.

There is differences in the speech code, this gives middle class children an advantage because the teachers use the same code as them, it is seen as the right way of talking.

When they get given work at school, they might not be able to complete it at home due to lack of resources 💻💰

Working class children believe that school devalues their culture as "rough" and their lack of cultural capital leads to exam failure.

Marketisation

Schools can get stuck in a cycle they are unable to get out of as if they don't get any funding due to poor performance then they will not be reach any higher and afford any changes to be made

It also means that children are subjected to silt shifting and cream skimming as the best schools only want the best children!
