This results in WC girl underachievement because girls don't feel valued in education, don't want to try and would rather gain status through the opinions of their peers.]]> 2023-02-06 10:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469832277 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469832979 Working class girls may lack a sense of self- fulfilment so therefore turn to relationships to fill the void rather than putting all that time and effort into their education, thus creating a better future for them where they can be self dependant.]]> 2023-02-06 10:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469832979 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469833045 By aiming to look presentable and desired it interferes with education and school policies. Despite them gaining status from their peers they create a negative label that holds them to be incapable of success and educational achievement. Bordieu labels this as symbolic violence. If they are not seen as the ideal pupil they are not encouraged to build a status that lets them have educational status, instead they focus on a staus that prevents them from being ridiculed ]]> 2023-02-06 10:24:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469833045 Some working class girls adopt a loud feminine identity where they are independent and assertive and they question teachers authority. This failure to conform to the schools rules and expectations could lead to conflict between them and the school and potentially getting in the way of their achievement. https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834043 2023-02-06 10:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834043 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834189 Boyfriends bring girls symbolic capital from peers but distract them from schoolwork. Also they lower their aspirations, making them aim to be mothers and work locally to stay with their boyfriend. Pregnancy as a result of boyfriends can also hinder educational achievement as it often means they have to drop out of school.]]> 2023-02-06 10:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834189 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834433 Boyfriends get in the way of schoolwork which lowers the girl’s aspirations. This means girls will more likely to underachieve in the educational system as they will focus on conforming to the traditions of women being a housewife rather than getting that level of independence and going off to university.]]> 2023-02-06 10:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834433 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834937 Having a boyfriend allows girls to be able to increase their symbloic capital, however this may also get in the way of their schooling and lower aspirations. This will mean they no longer see the importance of working hard as they may see it as an easier option to 'settle down'. Meaning the idea of gaining successful educational achievement is no longer needed to achieve what they aspire to be. ]]> 2023-02-06 10:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469834937 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469835021 Girls may seem to not be prioritised or truly seen due to symbolic violence and this can encourage them to be outspoken and create conflict or problems in class to have a voice and opinion, even if they come across as harmful.]]> 2023-02-06 10:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469835021 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469835333 girls spending excessive money, time and effort to create a false identity of themselves to be deemed valid by peers. by doing things like buying clothes, jewelry and makeup that aren't accepted in school but are accepted by peers, girls get in trouble as its seen as distracting and therefore are seen as “not one of us”. they're seen as anti school subculture and can be led to believe theyre not as able as everyone else.]]> 2023-02-06 10:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469835333 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469836887 Girls are forced to choose between gaining educational capital from school or gaining symbolic capital from peers. Often they choose to fit in with hyper heterosexual peers instead and ignore education. However, they often still believe they are capable of educational success despite teacher's negative views of them. ]]> 2023-02-06 10:28:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469836887 Girls can either conform to the symbolic capital of the hyper-heterosexual feminine identity or conform to educational capital where they have to reject their working class identify. https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469836980 2023-02-06 10:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469836980 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469837237 Working class girls may also try to build upon their status by directing their attention towards boyfriends. However this conflicts with their aspirations that are ultimately lowered as a result of their newly desire status stemming from their relationship. Instead of focusing on their desires the w/c girls attempt to make the ideal relationship by conforming to the housewife role. whilst they might find comfort in this it drastically lowers their results. they no longer seek sufficient grades and they replace achievement with validation and self fulfilment ]]> 2023-02-06 10:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469837237 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469837486 Girls may crave attention or desirability by using their looks and appearance to be noticed rather than showing their capabilities through academic successes.]]> 2023-02-06 10:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469837486 https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469838447 Working class girls find it hard to decide between symbolic capital and being able to conform to the hyper-heterosexual femenine identity or to conform with the idea of educational captial to help confrom to the ideal female pupil. This meaning girls find it hard to choose between the two so don't know whether to focus on their educational success or to be 'good enough. ]]> 2023-02-06 10:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ncoles/xsxxt7f9z18fo3jx/wish/2469838447
