Making the Difference draws on a detailed study of the schools and
homes of the powerful and the wealthy, and the ordinary
wage-earner. It allows children, parents and teachers to speak for
themselves and from what they say it develops strikingly new ways
of understanding 'educational inequality', how the class and gender
systems work, and schools and their social roles. 'Equality of
opportunity', co-education, and 'relevant and meaningful
curriculum' are all questioned, sympathetically but incisively.
Ranging across educational policy from system level to the everyday
experience of kids and teachers, from the problems of schooling to
the production of class and gender relations, Making the Difference
is a path-breaking combination of theory, research and politics.
Lucid and controversial, it will have a powerful impact on a wide
readership.'This is certainly the most interesting book written
about Australian schools in a very long time; it is arguably the
most important.'James Blackburn, The Australian Teacher'The authors
of this book are to be congratulated on a number of counts. length
and great depth which is almost totally free of jargon...No reader
can escape the challenge of reflection about what the process of
education, or even merely of schooling, should really be
achieving.'P.W. Musgrave, Education News 'Making the Difference
will serve many a democratic teacher as an excellent rationale for
the reform of assessment, curriculum, school organisation and
school government. It must be the most persuasive argument yet
written for school-based curricula.'Bill Hannan, TTUV News
