Hey, I too have a feeling the grade boundaries will be high for this paper. For the 30 marker, I've written about housing, diet, income, language skills, marketisation, labelling/streaming. I've mentioned about internal and external briefly before my conclusion, external (language speech code)...teacher labels and puts W/C pupils into lower sets or streams (internal) etc. BUT I have not made explicit link back to the question and was more concerned about getting the name of theorists down.
For the 4 marker I wrote about Barlett - Cream skimming and silt shifting as higher performing schools can be more selective and avoid the low achieving students (likely to be W/C) and the MC have higher cultural capital so have access to league tables/OFSTED report so can send their children to best performing schools.
The methods question !!! OMG - I assumed the study must have been conducted in school - then I came out of the exam hall and realised you can't really find students in school if they are truanting. OOps. But don't worry! Also focus on the next one. That's what I'm doing instead of revising for an 3hr45min exam on Friday morning lol.
