that streaming is a method of differentiation, but students in lower streams are often given handouts and aren’t engaged leading to the polarisation of outcomes

argues that working class boys put into lower streams get a sense of failure and have no feelings of status or identity - as a result forming anti school subcultures

what did ball research and suggest

found in his study of sunnyside comprehensive that when a school abandons the banding / streaming system the polarisation that lacey describes begins to disappear. perhaps mixed ability teaching would reduce the class difference in educational outcomes and reduce the chance of anti school subcultures forming
