    Cause Of Differences

    • 734 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Many sociologists argue that “factors and processes within school are the main cause of difference” These factors include gender, class and ethnicity. All of these things can lead to certain stereotypes and labels being forced upon pupils. The idea that Teachers have certain expectations of different social and ethnic groups means that self-fulfilling prophecy can lead to pupils living out positive and negative labels. The role of gender in educational achievement is that in past times it has been that boys have achieved less than girls in school, this could be that boys have a history of ‘laddish’ behaviour and have had a negative attitude to learning. This had also led to teachers expectations of ‘lads’ to be low which has caused negative stereotypes and labels.…

    Two years after A-levels in creative writing were introduced by the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance (AQA) examination board the Department of Education (Dfe) has announced that the subject will be cut from curriculum. In 2013 the A level subject was created with the help from creative writers and academics, and although the DfE concluded that "there are connections between Creative Writing and English" and that "Creative writing is (or could be construed to be) more skills-based than knowledge-based", it is still being cut by the government. The government plans to review the A level curriculum and due to this has announced that "it has not been possible to draft subject content in accordance with the department's guidance", which has…
