EXAMINE THE WAYS IN WHICH FACTORS IN PUPILS HOME BACKGROUND CAN AFFECT THE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT?


there is no answer, sociology is partially opinion based. Think of factors (eg lack of discipline), then think of what they lead to (eg. not doing h/w or bunking) then say how this would affect their attainment.

Tip: always include a short introduction and conclusion.

EXAMINE THE WAYS IN WHICH FACTORS IN PUPILS HOME BACKGROUND CAN AFFECT THE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT?

i would talk about how children will be socialised by thier parents into certain views of education (i.e if parents support meritocracy the child will), then talk about how class my effect it (how middle lower/middle/ upper class familys will socialise they're cildren in regards to education), also you could mention the marxist view on the family (the lower classes will not do as well at school because they are ignored and oppressed by the educational system), feminist views ( that girls may be socialised by thier parents into being house wives and not persiuing qualifications) or the scientific functionalist view that good family life+good school =good job/qualification and if one of these 'parts' break down the others may not function correctly (i.e bad home may equal poor qualifications)...
that stuff should be enough.
