Experiences with Classism: A Look at Social Class in a Rural High School
Pietrantoni, Zachary; Glance, Dorea; Smith, Krista M.
Journal of School Counseling, v13 n12 2015
The American School Counselor Association's (ASCA) National Model (2012) stated school counselors serve as advocates for equity in access and success in educational opportunities for all students; however, Lott (2002) suggested classism now affects more students than in previous generations. Most research has focused on college students and little research has addressed the experiences with classism for high school students. The researchers addressed this gap through an ethnographic qualitative study on experiences with classism of a rural high school in Illinois. The researchers concluded with implications for school counselors and future research on the area of classism in high schools.
