This paper challenges traditional conceptualizations employed in explaining students' educational attainments in contemporary schooling that takes national averages of certain demographic measures, such as the socio-economic statuses of families, as the best criteria. It argues, through presenting findings derived from an ethnographic study of one-room, fixed-grade school classroom serving a traditionally oriented small farming community in rural Turkey, that the analytic register of cultural familiarity with the social organization of classroom education and interactional competence requred for participaiton in its activites neds to be taken as the metric helping us undertand the differences in student achiements. The findings of this study show that when traditional village children have a parent or family member who can gide them through interactional expectations of modern classrooms, tjehy perform better compared to tehir peers who has similar avrages on all of those national measures often used as variables in conventional educational research.
