Tracking
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Tracking is a formalized sorting system placing students on academic tracks, such as advanced or lower-achieving, which conflict theorists argue perpetuates inequality once assigned.
Show
A student placed on a lower track early in schooling often remains there into later grades.
Watch for
Students often assume placement is regularly re-evaluated; conflict theorists find placement tends to persist, with the track's expectations reinforcing it.
