The Sociology Revision Song (Sociology and Education)

A song me and my sociology class wrote for revision in a lesson. Covers Marxists, Functionalists, Interactionalists and Feminists. Written to the tune of 'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder. Recorded/produced by Tom Crouch.

LYRICS


Karl Marx was a Marxist, everything benefits,
Benefits the bourgeoisie, and all the capitalists.
Bowles and Gintis, the hidden curriculum,
A myth of meritocracy, where class is the problem.
And Bourdieu with Cultural capital,
And Bernstien, and all his language codes,
All these Marxists hate it all.

Durkheim was a functionalist, with social cohesion,
Norms and values instilled, through the education system.
Meritocracy was Parsons, the second on our list,
Everyone has an equal chance, despite gender race and class.
Last of all we have Role Allocation,
By Davis and Moore, and that's our functionalists.

Interactionism is labelling, with self-full filling prophecy,
Rosenthal and Jacobson, where blacks do easy GCSEs.
Rist claimed that students were typed, Coz of their parents lives.
Ball put students into 3 bands, but that was opposed by Hallam and Hurley.
Finally, Hargreaves said teachers put students through three stages to label them, and that's interactionism.

Arnot is a sociologist, who is a feminist,
He believes that education a lists, became polar opposites.
And then there was Jackson, who had a nice son,
But the boy was badly labelled, but there was nothing he had done.
Myhill and Jones, said the system was bones, coz the boys are badly labelled,
The teachers shout, and the boys chat back, and start throwing tables at them
Those feminists again.
