SOCIOECONOMIC CLASSES

Socioeconomic classes, stratification and inequality

Introduction

lower socio-economic stratification and inequality Multiple institutionalized inequalities riddle system of Hong Kong and challenge the school principals to promote social justice. A vibrant blend of colonial history of Hong Kong and sustainable cultural traditions have built an education system built largely around stratification and inequality deeply rooted in society. Although widely recognized in the political, educational and some research articles have focused on these issues or their influence on student learning and their lives later. Even less attention has been paid to the role of principals in the fight against inequality at the organizational level. Therefore, this article aims to establish a constructive dialogue on social justice in schools in Hong Kong and the responsibility it holds the heads.(Mann,2007)

Literature Review

 Students from affluent backgrounds are inclined to do better in school and on normalized checks that scholars approaching from economically disadantaged. In the following paragraphs, I would like to present two distinct ways to realise this trend. I believe both socio-economic phenomena and genetic can be best clarified as a continuation of this trend. The association between socioeconomic rank and scholar accomplishment has been reliable for as long as notes have been maintained. First, we present the biological occurrence as a way to realise the reason. In Schooling in capitalist America by Bowles and Gintis, the authors state that there was a competitor of the genetic understanding of IQ. "An interpretation of the malfunction of egalitarian finishes up in the immutability of the genetic structure.(Mann,2007,81) According to statistical investigations in the 1960s and early 1970s, and the understanding of the function of IQ in the structure of inequality has been developed. The deduction drawn from these investigations interpret that the poor are poor because of their incompetence thoughtful legacy of their poor pattern and their parents with thoughtful disabilities.

However, some statistical outcomes that this review display that it is a error to connection family annals of its socio-economic dissimilarities in assessed IQ. Despite the detail that there is a pointed boost in school enrollments, the likelihood of a high school to school is so reliant on socioeconomic rank of parents as it was 30 years ago.

This proposes that the effect is not due to genetic transmission of IQ assessed with the family context has a important effect on the future of an individual's financial success.Secondly, I want to explain the trend by using examples of Is not No Makin 'It by Jay MacLeod. MacLeod points of teaching and evaluation criteria that the American educational system for the interests of the upper class. To ignore the problem of the difference in academic achievement, we should not totally focused on the children's families. The school also plays a very important reason accounting for such a correlation between socioeconomic statues and student performance. It is very important for society to recognize the problem is not that children of lower classes are of inferior quality. The real problem is that these children of lower classes are ...
