Abstract
This paper employs a comparative methodological design to investigate the testing and assessment of different children and families deemed as deviant by the established Danish welfare state society in general and the national public school system [Folkeskole] in particular.
The analysis contains two empirical cases of testing and assessment of deviant children by educational authorities. The first case is the handling of Greenlandic minority children within the Danish commonwealth between 1961 and 1971. The second case is the testing of labour migrant children in the city of Aarhus in the late 1970s.
