  • Description: The term ‘race’ has become somewhat discredited since biological evidence has pointed to the non-existence of ‘races’. The misunderstandings and tensions that can arise between teachers and pupils of different ethnic origin because of culture differences have been well illustrated by Dumont and Wax in a classic article on teaching Cherokee pupils in the USA. Wright made a study of the experiences of pupils from minority ethnic groups in the mixed comprehensive schools in the Midlands. The syndrome of ‘blaming the victims’ in terms of a ‘deficit theory’, and then this giving rise to such outcomes has been perceived in a number of studies and across a range of ethnic groups. A consistent finding in research is that some groups of black girls do well at school though boys from the same ethnic group, often in the same school, do badly. School knowledge is stratified in terms of ‘race’, just as it is in terms of social class and gender.
