This title addresses the tension between high achievement and
popularity in secondary schools, exploring the sociological impact
of this in the lives of young people. How do some students manage
to excel in their studies and be popular while other high achievers
are treated as social outcasts? This lively and accessible text
looks at the relationships between gender, race and social class,
and attainment and popularity, for high achieving pupils. The
internationally renowned authors present a lucid theoretical
framework that reflects the complexity of these issues, placing
them within the broader context of the policies which cause and
constrain particular behaviours among teachers and pupils. The
authors draw together empirical data, bringing the realities of
young people to life and presenting the lessons that can be learnt
to enhance the educational achievement of all students. Issues
covered include: the social consequences for the 'too hardworking';
the tension between high achievement and popularity; and, the
classroom practices adopted by pupils accomplishing popularity and
high achievement. This is an engaging text for advanced
undergraduate and postgraduate students exploring the debates on
identity and achievement.
