teacher exceptions - teacher think you'll do well you'll do well

school culture expectations 

self fulfilling prophecy - minority pick up stereotypes and live them out

skills and knoledge

people you know/connections you have

• how to maneuver people, social situations, gov
• ie playing golf with executive is social capital, but being able to have a conversation with him is cultural capital

• higher class student perform better because of:
• financial resources
• summer gap (rich go to camps etc)
• parental resources

how certain cultural values attitudes (ie conformity and obedience to authority) are transmitted though implied demands in the everyday rules and routine schools.

• higher education is more expensive and minorities tend to be poorer
• acting white

boys are perceived to be better at science and maths and girls the liberal courses and thus pushed to do things like nursing and moms and teachers 

females less drop out, more masters, better in reading and writing same in math

hard to afford for poor/minority families

• save seats for minorities
• 1. only form of collegiate preferential treatment. (legacy and athletes)
• 2. It takes spots from deserving white students (open policy like wake tech and social structure, most whites already have majority)
• 3. It affects every college student

• our economy requires a more educated work force
• when dysfunction exists improvements occur when more stringent academic requirements are implemented for students

education is the badge of elite status but what school you attend depends on wealth AND influences your life changes and opportunities

credentialism - value what rich have access to and what poor don't

greater emphasis on teaching students the basics and making certain they have job skills that makes it possible that they're contributing to society

• legislation passed/reaffirmed to fight race discrimination and sexual inequality in school
• they're continuing problems that don't just magically end

• change the convo and change label on certain students
• small changes on personal level

• problem - school going broke and doing major cuts that affect some but benefit others
• solution - vouch program, charter school, for profit school

success  (especially in education) amongst black is perceived as acting because of stereotype and devaluation of education attainment in blacks
