A large number of pupils are, or are liable to become, disaffected
with their schooling. In this comprehensive account of the problem,
Ken Reid suggests that school can and should do much more to
prevent and overcome disaffected behaviour, as manifested by such
factors as absenteeism, disruption and underachievement. The book
covers disruptive behaviour in its broader context and examines the
search for an explanation within schools themselves. Formal and
multidisciplinary approaches to the problem are also fully treated.
The author has drawn on his considerable school and research
experience and the book is well illustrated with examples and case
histories. Ken Reid argues that questions about attitudes and
approaches in teaching and in pastoral care provoke a continued
challenge, and stresses that if such questions are not faced
squarely the long-germ prognosis for secondary education in Britain
may be bleak. Teachers in training and all those involved in the
education and welfare of difficult or disadvantaged children,
especially teachers, heads and social workers, will find
Disaffection from School both challenging in its analysis and
helpful in its suggestions.
