| Sumario: | The article discusses a study on the relationship of social class origin and values to a pattern of beliefs about the slum school and the acceptability of an assignment to it. The study has applied two crucial measures of attitude to 620 students from Hunter College. The measures include a set of 32 statements about slum schools and a scale of five statements exhibiting varying degrees of willingness to accept a teaching assignment in a slum school. The study found that the students who are more willing to teach in the slum school, and whose view of those schools is more positive, accept more permissive and psychologically oriented norms of relating to children less firmly than do their working-class and middle-class counterparts. |
