A School Sorts Its Students: Method, Stratification, and Credentialing
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
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.
Watch for
One constructed case illustrates how these subjects interact; it is not a data point, and no figure here is a reported statistic.
