I've been reading about cultural capital theory for about 8 hours now and stuff no longer makes sense to me because it's all blending together

To say that the socially privileged do better in school because of their cultural capital, it is essential to show that cultural capital substantially reduces the net effects of social privilege on school achievement that can occur only if social privilege is strongly related to cultural capital and cultural capital is strongly related to school achievement."

the human being who wrote this sentence is a horrible person.

i could not agree more. also, i don't believe in that one sentence, "is cultural capital related to achievement net of other determinants of achievement?" there has to be a word missing somewhere.
