Kinship and Classrooms: An Ethnographic Perspective on Education as Cultural Transmission.

Lubeck, Sally

Sociology of Education, v57 n4 p219-32 Oct 1984

Observations of two preschool settings--one Black and one white--suggests that structures of time and space are implicit forms through which adult values are transmitted to children. White teachers structured an environment that maximized individual choice and action; Black teachers structured time and space to reinforce collectivism, authority, and repetition. (RM)
