"The School Years" presents a lively collection of essays on key
issues affecting young people in the school setting. This edition
takes into account the major social changes which have occurred
since 1979--changes which have had a direct impact on education and
adolescents. The contributors, five of whom are new since the first
edition, take an entirely new and up-to-date approach to current
controversial issues.
Poverty and unemployment, the schooling of post-sixteen-year-olds,
the problems of sexual and emotional abuse, the phenomenon of AIDS,
issues of gender, race and equal opportunities, increasing divorce
rates--all these have affected the lives of children and
adolescents. In addition, in many countries education reforms have
altered the organization and ethos of the school setting,
inevitably creating greater challenges for the students. The
contributors explore the fundamental questions about human
development in the school, focusing on such aspects as the learning
of gender roles, the origin of the concept of self, the role of the
peer group, the development of morality, the causes of delinquency,
and the relation between home and school.
"The School Years" covers the current controversial issues having
to do with the socialization of young people and also provides a
broad theoretical perspective on the subject. It will be an
essential book for all those concerned with adolescence and
education.
