This volume looks at the social and intellectual forces which the
child encounters in class-room and playground from the parent's
point of view. School and home are seen as the separate yet
overlapping worlds of childhood - for some children more
uncompromisingly separated than for others. In the social
development of the child, school functions as a link between the
kinds of demands (and immunities) which are characteristic of
family life, and those which the child will discover in the wider
society of adulthood. The authors provide a meeting-point for
developmental psychology, sociology and education, to the
illumination of all three. There is a concern with the daily life
of 'ordinary'children in 'ordinary' families. School reluctance -
rather than the more clinical school phobia or truancy - is
delicately probed. The back-up that parents provide at home,
directly or indirectly, is objectively evaluated, yet with empathy
for parents' and teachers' anxieties about their roles.
