The problems this book discusses are the same now as they were 25
years ago: unemployment, poor housing, inadequate facilities,
poverty, racism, violence. What is the function of a school in such
a situation? Although many schools hold reformist ideals, their
practice is constrained by organisational demands. School
organisation is based upon a coercive theory of social control
which is intolerant of expressions of individuality by teachers and
pupils. Needs for individuality may be mistaken for deviance, and
deviance is at least in part produced by, or exacerbated by, school
organisation. The author maintains that schooling is therefore
largely maladjusted to the needs of individuals.
