Recognizing that “the core of the problem is to link (inter)action and structure without reducing one to the other “ (DiTomasi, 1982, p. 15), the language of groups of educators as they make decisions about how to classify students is examined. Circumstances which originate outside the institution (governmental policies, fiscal and legal considerations) interact with local circumstances (the practical project of processing cases, getting done with the work at hand, arranging teaching schedules) to influence the work of formal organizations. Plotting the reflexive relationships between structure and interaction presents a faithful rendition of the organization of social life in bureaucracies
