The Social Class Embeddedness of Middle School Students' Thinking about Teachers.
Brantlinger, Ellen A.
Theory into Practice, v33 n3 p191-98 Sum 1994
Describes a study that examined high-income and low-income middle schoolers' perceptions of teachers. Interviews indicated that social class was important in both groups' thinking. Low-income students were very attuned to teachers' attitudes toward them, and school was stressful for them as they were very much aware of their subordinate standing in school. (SM)
