This paper gives a summary of an ethnographic study of classroom life in a traditionally oriented village in Turkey, which focuses on modernizing role of participation structures. It will provide analyses of participation both in classroom and in the village community in order to show how traditional children struggle in classrooms due to their traditional upbringing. I will discuss how, in classroom, the children receive the treatment of ‘incompetent’ beings as if their difficulties are marked by their biological nature rather than being a result of their cultural orientation. The findings will document the consequences of such circumstances on educational lives and life chances of traditional children, on social distribution of educational attainment within the larger society, and on the modernizing role of schooling in still traditional parts of the world. The paper will conclude with remarks on the taken-for-granted tendencies of teachers and the nature of teacher education programs.
