Brantlinger, Ellen

Focus on Exceptional Children, v33 n7 p1-19 Mar 2001

This article discusses social hierarchy and uses graduation exit exams to show how social class relations are manifest in school practice. After deconstructing the negative, ideas are put forward for reform and educators are urged to join in a movement to transform hierarchical and excluding relations in school and society.
