challenges to cultural deprivation A03

• Keddie( 1973): CD is a myth and it isd seen as an victim blaming explanation of the student when it is the fault of the education system who fail to incorporate change and a curriculum based on the beliefs of the student. Child cannot be culturally deprived- culturally different.
• William: children's language is not the problem but the school's attitude in handling the differences in language. Teachers obtain a speech hierarchy creating a division between MC and WC students.
• Mortimore(1994) - WORKING CLASS PARENTS ARE INTEREST IN THEIR CHILD'S EDUCATION, BUT ATTEND FEWER MEETINGS/ENGAGE LESS TIME DUE TO EXTERNAL FACTORS SUCH AS WORK/ LACK OF RESOURCES
