The Cycle of Social Reproduction Is Created Within the School

Multiple Choice

The cycle of social reproduction is created within the school because:

A) blue-collar children are often uncomfortable in a formal school environment, so they rebel and are able to seek work based on their individual aptitudes
B) blue-collar children are more accepting of the rules in school than their middle-class peers and are therefore more apt to succeed
C) middle-class children increasingly see the school as not operating in their best interests; therefore, they are eager to get to work and earn money rather than continuing with schooling
D) in many ways, working-class children have a more perceptive attitude toward the organization of the school than do middle-class children, but the latter group sees the school as a vehicle for upward mobility
