"Schools are successful only insofar as they reduce the dependence of a child's opportunities upon his social origins."
Success
"In a high school, the norms act to hold down the achievements of those who are above average, so that the school's demands will be at a level easily maintained by the majority."
Act
"For to change the norms, the very foci of attention, of a cultural system is a difficult task - far more complex than that of changing an individual's attitudes and interests."
Change
"Children from a given family background, when put in schools of different social compositions, will achieve at quite different levels."
Family
"The educational resources provided by a child's fellow students are more important for his achievement than are the resources provided by the school board."
Achievement
"Cultural dominance of middle-class norms prevail in middle-class schools with a teacher teaching toward those standards and with students striving to maintain those standards."
Cultural
"The higher the social class of other students the higher any given student's achievement."
Achievement
"Particular individuals who might never consider dropping out if they were in a different high school might decide to drop out if they attended a school where many boys and girls did so."
Boys

Family
