Question

Applying material from Item A and your knowledge, evaluate the view that labelling and other in-school factors are the main cause of social class differences in educational achievement.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete because it does not include the material from Item A, we can say that yes, labeling and other in-school factors are the main cause of social class differences in educational achievement.

With so many students in school from different social classes, it seems difficult to put a limit on labeling. However, school authorities and teachers should pay closer attention to this issue because it affects children and their decision to continue to attend school. Labeling is also a cause of bullying in educational centers. So we have to consider this as a current issue that must be confronted.

Parents should play a key role in diminishing labeling, setting a good example in the house, and talking to their children about the importance of respect and tolerance.
