Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Working class and racial-minority students often reject the hidden curriculum because they expect to achieve little if they play by the rules. They believe that the dominant culture is stacked against them, and success is difficult to achieve no matter how hard they try. Therefore, they may feel it is more important to resist the system rather than conform to it.
