Recent efforts to reform urban high schools have been marked by the
pursuit of ever-increasing accountability policies, most notably
through the use of mayoral control and secondary school exit exams.
This innovative and provocative volume excavates the unintended
consequences of such policies on secondary school completion by
focusing specifically on the use and over-use of the GED
credential. Building on a tradition of critical theory and
political economy of education, author Eve Tuck offers a
provacative analysis of how accountability tacitly and explicitly
push-out under-performing students from the system. A theoretically
and empirically rich treatise on school push-out, Urban Youth and
School Push-Out illustrates urban public schooling as a dialectic
of humiliating ironies and dangerous dignities. Focusing on the
experiences of youth who have been pushed-out of their schools
under the auspices of obtaining a GED, Tuck reveals new insights on
how urban youth view accountability schooling, value the GED, and
yearn for multiple, meaningful routes to graduation.
