Middle-Class Bias of Schools -- Fact or Fancy?

Richer, Stephen

Sociology of Education, 47, 4, 523-534, F 74

The author examines the popular notion that schools are negatively oriented towards children from the working classes. The results indicate that working-class children receive less than their share of teacher interactions in highly teacher-centered classrooms and more of their share in student-centered classrooms.
