- Evaluation of The Marxist View (AO3)
- Evidence suggests that class affects achievement - supports Marxist view - 835 of children from MC backgrounds get 5 A*-C's at GCSE, compared to 44% from WC backgrounds - supports ALTHUSSER and BOWLES & GINTIS - challenges functionalist idea of meritocracy
- Marxists ignore the impact of gender & ethnicity on achievement - class isn't the only factor
- Marxism assumes people are passive victims - it exaggerates how much WC students are socialised into obedience. WILLIS showed how students actually resist authority
- Most people = aware of the inequality in education & don't think that this inequality is legitimate
