A School Sorts Its Students: Method, Stratification, and Credentialing
Captions available
The idea
This capstone follows one constructed school district's tracking program, showing how a statistical claim, stratification theory, and credentialing combine into one dispute rather than separate stories.
Where people slip
One constructed case illustrates how these subjects interact; it is not a data point, and no figure here is a reported statistic.
