CIRCLE Working Paper 59: Democracy for Some–The Civic Opportunity Gap in High School
by Joseph Kahne and Ellen Middaugh
February 2008
In our study of high school civic opportunities, we found that a student’s race and academic track, and a school’s average socioeconomic status (SES) determines the availability of the school-based civic learning opportunities that promote voting and broader forms of civic engagement. High school students attending higher SES schools, those who are college-bound, and white students get more of these opportunities than low-income students, those not heading to college, and students of color.

CIRCLE Working Paper id 59 and Democracy for Some–The Civic Opportunity Gap in High School but DEMOCRACY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT . What Schools Need to Do The headlines we read are about test scores, basic skills, and the role schools play in preparing students for jobs in the Information Age.And when it comes to assessment, civic goals get very little attention. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act mandates yearly testing in math, reading, and, beginning in 2005, science.

“The fact that white students get more of these opportunities than low-income students, those not heading to college, and students of color” is really discriminative… and I do not like the word “of color”…
February 17th, 2009 at 4:54 am
As for me I think that the results of this study are obvious and they didn’t need to spend money for its realization. The low-income students and the students of color will never get the same knowledge and I think that it isn’t worth to explain.

March 28th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Well well, what do we have here? anyone?
April 10th, 2009 at 10:26 am
It’s a really strange but interesting studie .
April 24th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Interesting…nice work

Students that come from low income families have more desire for success and the intelligent ones even have a benefit, they are highly motivated.
June 12th, 2009 at 5:52 am
Cool study? I do not think so!
July 18th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Seems that something is not right in this study. Does it mean to show that there is an apparent bias towards white and well-off students? If that is so, there is really something wrong that needs to be corrected asap.
July 19th, 2009 at 4:28 am
For sure high-income students will have more opportunities, they live in a different environment (i mean people around them) and it affects them in a positive way. That, plus the ability to pay for the good college is usually brings more opportunities.
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:49 am
This does not look good. Students who have less in life should be given equal opportunities given to those who are well-off. Educational institutions should look at this study.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:10 pm
The fact of the matter is that the children from higher income families have more opportunities and are just more likely to succeed where lower income families do not.
July 26th, 2009 at 2:12 am
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooot! Good work..
July 26th, 2009 at 4:59 am
Nice..
July 29th, 2009 at 3:33 am
I hope the results are not that accurate. If they are, then it would be a predicament for many students.
August 5th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Why am I not surprised? Opportunities are only limited to those who choose to be limited. I wish people would stop making up excuses and take responsibility for their own misfortunes.
August 26th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
You do not need a study to obtain this information. I think anyone knows that has always existed and still for a while there will always be prejudice and discrimination. Unfortunately
August 27th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Its interesting to see how far we have come over the years.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Great piece, race should never be a factor in anything.

September 16th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Great post! Thank you.
October 5th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Unfortunately it’s the way things are. I’m quite surprised people didn’t expect this… There are other factors that come into play besides solely education though.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:34 pm

There has been a decline in people from lower income families going on to higher education in recent years. This smacks of the rich keeping the poor down.

I do think its wrong that white students get more opportunities than colour students or those who’s family have a low income. The biggest hurdle is expense and its unfortunate that many colour families or those with a low wage coming into the house just cant afford to stay at school and get a higher education. Because of this there should be more Government support to encourage more people to get a higher education which in turn will benefit our society.
October 25th, 2009 at 5:42 am
in fact,to say nothing more on this subject, but still would like to thank for sharing respects
Dear Admin, I thank you for this informative article. And I thank you for this I follow your vendors. It’s verry good. I wish you continued success
October 28th, 2009 at 4:51 am
I think slowly slowly its become quite huge gap.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:43 am
yes it seems there is more good opportunities.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:57 am
this is an extremely interesting study. In a way, I think it comes as no surprise in today’s society.
November 5th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Low income students and with no strong background will always have a strong hold on their decisions and they know where and how they can get the right path for their success, i don’t think that student who have not any strong background or student of color would mind all that, all they want to get higher education to a get bright future, that’s it.
November 9th, 2009 at 9:56 am

You don’t need a study to tell you this. Go to uni and it is blindingly obvious that things such as race and socioeconomic status create gap for many. More scholarships and income support is needed to give everyone a fair go.
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:43 pm
this is a very good study. Dissapointing if these results are true…

It is sad that this is the way the world works. The results of this study are not surprising. It would be more useful to do a study into looking at methods of changing the situation. Perhaps that will be a follow up study.
December 16th, 2009 at 6:57 am
Students of ‘color’ is kindof considered racist. I wouldn’t be phrasing it like this.

I think it depends upon the high school student if she/he really want to go in college and finish his/her studies even if their family have low income. Some of the successful people are experiencing difficult in their studies and at the end they are rich now.
January 29th, 2010 at 8:12 am
That’s always the way things are going to work that coloured students or those with poorer families will always lose out despite the fact that they may be brighter than the rich kids.

Folks, I think that you should moderate some comments, because I think some of them add no value to the discussion just my 2 cents.
March 9th, 2010 at 9:08 am
An interesting study, but for sure high-income students will have more opportunities, they come from a better environment and that affects them in a positive way. Also the ability to pay for a good college usually brings more opportunities.

“150 cm’den kısa çocuklarda emniyet kemeri, doğru bağlama yeri olan göğüs kafesi ve belden geçmiyor. Çocuğun boynundan geçen kemer kazada çocuğun boynunun kırılması ya da yaralanmasına neden oluyor. Yine 150 cm.’den kısa çocuklarda açılan hava yastıkları kazazede çocuğun başının kopmasına bile yol açabiliyor. 50 km. hızla giden bir araç kaza yaptığında annesinin kucağında oturan 10 kiloluk bir çocuk çarpmanın şiddetiyle 240 kiloya yani ufak bir filin ağırlığına ulaşıyor. Kaza sırasında tutulamayan bu çocuklar araçtan fırlayarak ciddi yaralanma ve ölümle karşılaşıyor. AB’de 2006’da zorunlu hale getirilen uygulama sonrasında kazalarda kaybedilen çocuk oranı yüzde 2 seviyesine düşerken, Türkiye’de ise bu oran yüzde 46.”

“Koltuk alırken boy ve kiloya göre doğru seçim, aracı koltuğa doğru bağlama ve koltuktaki çocuğu kemerle doğru bağlamayı öğrenmek gerekiyor. ABD’de doğumdan sonra ”Grup0“ koltuğa oturtulmayan çocukların hastaneden çıkışına izin verilmiyor. ”Grup0“ dediğimiz 0-13 Kg arasındaki çocukların oturacağı koltuklar mutlaka sürüş istikametine ters bağlanmalı. Çünkü yenidoğan çocukların kafaları vücut ağırlığının 3’te 1’i kadar olduğu için araç fren yaptığında boyun kasları güçlü olmayan çocuk ileri doğru harekette kalıcı bir zedelenmeyle karşılaşabilir. Yine sadece bu grupta koruma amaçlı hava yastıkları devre dışı bırakılmalı. Grup0’ı 0-13 kg. arası 1 yaşına kadar, Grup1’i 9-18 kg. arası 9 ay-3.5 yaş, Grup2-3 koltukları ise 15-36 kg. arasında 3-12 yaşa kadar olan çocuklar kullanıyor. Koltuktaki çocukların kemeri mutlaka omuz hizasından geçerek karın bölgesinde bağlanmalı. Uygun gerginlik ise çocuğun göğüs kafesini zorlamadan kolunu kemer dışına çıkartamayacağı kadar olmalı. Kullanıcılar geçmişini bilmediği ikinci el koltukları almamalı. Çünkü eğer bir koltuk kaza geçirmiş ise darbe emiciliği azalmış, elastikiyetini kaybetmiş ve gözle görünmeyen çatlak ve hasarları olabilir.”

May 30th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
As for me I think that the results of this study are obvious and need not spend money for their realization. The low-income students and students of color will never gain the same knowledge and I think it is worth explaining.

College education can yield a high paid career. But someones highly paid career can be ruined by a disgruntled customer/consumer with one bad online review. I think more courses should be offered in the field of Online Reputation Management. This is something that’s becoming a huge problem on the web!

I wish them good luck for the marketing wotk. It is among the hardest choice to outsource this. But they can make it more efficient then.

We feel we are so advanced as a civilization and yet the same inconsistancies and inequalities exist today as they did in the past, maybe a less obvious divide but certainly still there.
How do we correct these imbalances? There are so many factors at play, it is certainly no easy task
June 4th, 2010 at 1:53 am
Unfortunately these sorts of trends are evident all over the world. They exist within countries, between countries and of course the 1st and 3rd worlds.
Education is the single most important key to closing these socioeconomic gaps. The power of knowledge must never be underated.

Becoming a low-income student, make them have more spirit to develop themselves. Low-income student need to work hard for their success, in other way, high-income students already have many opportunities in their live.

The idea that kids can get lost in a large event always concerned me and led us to create a unique tattoo paper for DIY ID Tattoos that can be applied to young kids to protect them and stop them from getting lost. The paper is cool and you can put it into either an ink jet or laser jet printer

If the process need about 5 steps of assemblying, so they need 5 people to do it. So each person just do the same thing for their job. That’s more efficient I think.

I was searching before last 5 weaks and ia dint get the perfect answer.
But after all i found from your site.

Every thing you write about Socioeconomic status (SES) which determines the availability of the school-based civic learning is too great for those who are really deserve for opporunities.

A school time is a time when a human being growing their character. And from scholl they will learn many of science, so it must be as good as they can.

Most of bad things in a school is happened because of students. That’s why a teacher will so angry if their students doing wrong, because it will affect the school reputation.

When I was child, I was study in a small school. But I think even it’s a small school, but we can prove that we are clever enough when we are facing a competition of lessons.
June 25th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
Gotta love the smaller schools. I think it really helps get to touch with the students. Many times people overlook this factor, but other kids really understand.

It is very hard to define the right curriculum for the students, they have to learn more and more with every coming year to keep pace with the rapidly changing world.
June 28th, 2010 at 6:10 am
In school, we don’t just get a lesson in theory but we also get a lesson of how to knowing someone around us.

This matter of contention is really unacceptable.Developing opportunities for civic engagement of various kinds is very substantial.I would say that commitment of students in service activities that are associated with educational program can increase student learning, motivation toward school and opportunities for students to probe progress.

The biggest hurdle is expense and its unfortunate that many colour families or those with a low wage coming into the house just cant afford to stay at school and get a higher education.

Good post about Democracy for Some–The Civic Opportunity Gap.
June 30th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
In our study of high school civic opportunities, we found that a student’s race and academic track, and a school’s average socioeconomic status (SES) determines the availability of the school-based civic learning opportunities that promote voting and broader forms of civic engagement good info.
June 30th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
The opportunities are limited to those who choose to be limited. I wish people would stop making excuses and take responsibility for their own misfortunes.
July 1st, 2010 at 1:02 pm
I think it comes as no surprise in today’s society.
July 2nd, 2010 at 1:22 pm
In our study of high school civic opportunities, we find that the student’s race and academic track, and school average socioeconomic status (SES) determines the availability of school civic learning opportunities that promote voting and more extensive forms of civic participation Well, well I think this is good.
September 23rd, 2010 at 3:48 pm
So has anything been done about this then, or has the situation changed since the study was done? It’s crazy in this day and age that a person’s color, track record and economic status determine if they have access to civic learning opportunities.. crazy..
October 29th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
how can this kind of mentality get votes these days?

Very true. The low income students are forced to work harder but rich students have many opportunities. This very good post about the democracy. The educational institution should provide equal opportunities.

Why is this study necessary? It is obvious that socioeconomics affect school-based civic learning opportunities that promote voting
December 15th, 2010 at 6:03 am
While it is true that low income students have to face a lot of hardships due to their socioeconomic background, this should not be used as an excuse for lower high school or university performance. They need to realize the fact that even high income background kids have to work for academic excellence.
December 23rd, 2010 at 6:21 am
I do think this is a useful study. However I would agree with the second comment here about the use of the phrase “students of color”. Does this mean those with flair and vivacity?
January 26th, 2011 at 2:37 am
Empowering high school students is definitely very important. These sorts of inequalities are quite disappointing at best. It’s unfortunate and a shame we’ve not progressed more over all the time our society has existed.
February 3rd, 2011 at 9:38 pm
I have to disagree. The color of the skin does not determine opportunities. It is not a direct relation. Maybe economic factors that a certain race of group share contributes to it, but not just skin color.
February 17th, 2011 at 11:06 am
If you go to other countries, you will quickly find how much of an opportunity we have here in the states. Yes, low income students may have more difficulty, but the opportunity is there.
February 20th, 2011 at 7:32 pm
I don’t agree….it used to be that white students had all the opportunity, when will this country move on and see that blacks have made just as many strides in education and hello (politics) as whites…
