| Abstract | The values, beliefs, and attitudes of black students in an intermediate school were studied. The cultural factors investigated included the following: (1) academic performance; (2) educational and occupational aspirations voiced by the students and their parents; (3) student behavior displayed in and out of school; (4) educational strategies devised by the students and their parents; and (5) expectations of student academic performance held by teachers and counselors. The findings indicate the presence of a modified caste system that prevents the majority of black students from crossing cultural boundaries and achieving academic success. Although the students generally voiced high educational and occupational aspirations, many aspired to careers in sport and entertainment that they were unlikely to achieve. Many who had lofty occupational goals failed to translate their expectations into appropriate school behavior. Some parents were unable to translate their high expectations into meaningful support. Interactions between students, teachers, and parents were marred by mistrust. Some students crossed the cultural barriers and performed well. Others took an oppositional stance, but most remained passive with regard to academic engagement. (VM) |
