Working-class students who didn’t wish to leave the past behind were treated with contempt and disdain. They were seen as a discipline problem who failed to adhere to bourgeois decorum beholding to proper students. Many dropped out, and their remaining peers and teachers defined them as people “who could not make it” because of their own internal short-comings and character flaws (hooks 2000, 37). Unlike Rodriguez, hooks resisted the intense pressure to assimilate. Like Rose, hooks survived but worked to transform the classroom space into one that refused to exact this heavy toll on those students who shared their deviant backgrounds. Like Villanueva, a crucial consciousness of social class was a key element in her survival in a contradictory world in which she refused to surrender place—social class background, cultural ethnic identity and affiliations, and community—to the utopia of placelessness.
