q2 i? Teachers managed disruptive boys by giving them full attention at the expense of other children's learning, or by letting them do what they wanted, so that pragmatic values counteracted democratic values. → Norberg 2003

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Author's interpretation of observation episodes in the unequal opportunities section: strategies included keeping an eye on disruptive boys, giving them individual help, seating boys and girls together, and letting a boy use the computer instead of working in his book as long as he was quiet.
"Pragmatic values counteracted democratic values. What worked was more easily sustained than what was morally desirable."
