Is Disenfranchised a more appropriate term than Disengaged?

Abstract
When we discuss disengagement we are talking about the failure of students to engage with a process that is deemed to be "right". Can we not interpret the failure to engage as a warning sign that there may be a failure to meet the needs of all students? Is it possible that many students do not learn in the way of traditional schooling - through the ordered acquisition of information? Is the real issue with which we should be concerned the disenfranchisement of a significant sized group of people?
