3. Responses of students and teachers in small schools
were more in agreement with the Bill of Rights than those of
their large school counterparts.
4. Perceptions of students who participated in church
groups were more in agreement with the Bill of Rights than
their nonparticipating peers.
5. The perceptions of Anglo students differed signifi-
cantly from those of Hispanics but perceptions of students
of varying socio-economic levels did not.
6. The perceptions of students whose parents held
college degrees did not differ significantly from those
whose parents did not.
7. No significant difference existed between the per-
ceptions of teachers of varying degrees and undergraduate
majors.
The following implications were made:
1. Since teachers were less in agreement with the Bill
of Rights than students, factors other than social studies
expertise may influence perceptions.
2. Within the context of this study socio-economic
status was not a significant predictor of perceptions.
Teachers should not assume these backgrounds will have
negative effects on perceptions.
