Educational Binds of Poverty tackles the assumptions made by many
recent social and educational policy initiatives suggesting that
the best way to improve educational prospects of children in
poverty is through an increased emphasis upon a culture of control,
discipline, regulation and accountability. In this book, Ceri Brown
presents these assumptions against a review of the research
literature and an original ethnographic longitudinal study into the
lives of children in poverty, in order to highlight the gap between
policy discourses and the lived experiences of children themselves.
Through the theoretical concept of a set of 'binds' against
educational success, the book explores four key areas that children
in poverty have to navigate if they are to be successful in school.
These are: material deprivation the cultural contexts of school,
home and the community friendship and social capital the effects of
student mobility through atypical school changes. In seeking to
characterise and explain what life is like for young school
children, this book questions why policy makers have a radically
different frame of reference in purporting to understand how their
policies will change the behaviour of those living in poverty. This
leads onto a consideration of what lessons may be learned in order
to contribute towards a more appropriate policy agenda that attends
to the multiple binds that children in poverty have to negotiate.
