Elementary Grade Retention in Texas and Reading Achievement Among Racial Groups
Students who failed the Texas mandatory third grade reading test were followed through their sophomore year in high school. Comparisons of reading scores between third grade students who repeated the grade and their socially promoted classmates revealed that the positive effect of retention persisted over time. Retention in third grade benefited low-performing readers regardless of race. Supplemental analyses found that the results are not likely…
The No Child Left Behind Act
Central to sociology is the assumption that virtually all forms of social action and public policies have unanticipated consequences for their actors and social systems. As sociologists, we seek to explore these unanticipated consequences and delineate how they will affect people, policies, and practices. This essay focuses on the unanticipated consequences of the assessment and accountability mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 20…

Fear, victimization, and stress among urban public school teachers
Data from the National Institute of Education's Safe School Study Report suggested that teachers in American urban public schools are emotionally and physically victimized and that the result is heightened level of stress associated with teaching. This study, which is part of larger, longitudinal project, explores the linkages between reported experiences of victimization by 291 urban public school teachers and task‐specific stressors in the perf…

Teacher Burnout in the Public School
Female Revolt
Based on courses developed by the author over several years, this book provides access to a broad area of research that is not available in separate articles or books of readings. Topics covered include the meaning and measurement of risk, general single-period portfolio problems, mean-variance analysis and the Capital Asset Pricing Model, the Arbitrage Pricing Theory, complete markets, multiperiod portfolio problems and the Intertemporal Capital…
In the Face of Threat
This article develops a cross-cultural and historical theory of antifeminist movements. Such movements are composed of two elements, which often involve very different types of people: vested-interest groups and voluntary associations. Five predictions concerning the social composition of antifeminist vested-interest groups and voluntary organizations and antifeminist movement ideology are derived from the theory. Evidence taken from existing lit…
Consciousness and Reality
Fishman (1956) has suggested that since stereotypes serve group relations functions, changes in stereotypy should follow changes in target groups, subject groups, or in the relationships between subjects and targets. To investigate this we examine the stereotypes and self‐images of Chicanos and Anglos, drawn from three time periods around the social ferment of the 1960s and the development of the Chicano movement: 1963, 1967–8 and 1971. We expect…

The Effects of Tokenism on Work Alienation among Urban Public School Teachers
Existing theories of the effects of relative numbers, and especially tokenism, on worker behaviors and attitudes are reviewed. Despite the absence of specific reference in the literature to worker alienation as an outcome of token status, an argument is presented drawing upon this research tradition and discussions of marginality to link this dependent variable to tokenism. In addition, often neglected status considerations are included to predic…

The Changing Demography of Public School Teachers
Using a sample of 3,549 public school teachers in a major Southwestern metropolis, the paper assesses changes in the class origin of three racial groups of teachers and, in turn, the variables associated with a desire to quit teaching. Younger black and white teachers significantly more often comefrom higher professional and white collarfamilies than do their older cohorts, while younger Mexican-American teachers more often come from lower blue c…
