Institutional discrimination

Institutional Discrimination - School as an Organized Institution - The Investigation of Discrimination in Schools - A Local School System - Statistical Anomalies - Decision-Making Behavior - Decision Point: School Enrollment - Decision Point: Referral to Special Education for Learning Disabilities - Decision Point: Transition to Secondary Education - Mechanisms of Institutional Discrimination. The explanation for the lack of academic success among migrant children is predominantly sought in the deficits of the affected children, their family environment, and "culture" in public discourse. The place of its production, the school, remains overlooked, especially in the problem descriptions provided by the school establishment. This book presents a shift in perspective: from the intertwining of theoretical approaches to institutional discrimination and actions within organizations.
