Multiple Choice

• 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
