The Case of the Missing Brackets: Teachers and Social Reproduction.

Mickelson, Roslyn Arlin

Journal of Education, v169 n2 p78-88 1987

The hidden curriculum in schools affects students' behavior. Observations from over 60 classrooms show differences in the way students from various academic tracks and socioeconomic backgrounds react to ambiguous situations. The analysis demonstrates that teachers and schools maintain the socioeconomic status quo rather than working for a more equitable society. (VM)
