Although they are typically viewed as silent witnesses in schools
during the worldwide infatuation with school reform, this book, in
fact, reveals young people to be active agents with something
worthwhile to say about their schooling and what might be done to
make learning more exciting and relevant to their lives and
aspirations. The authors foreground the stories of some 100 young
informants from low socioeconomic backgrounds who had been repelled
by school, but found their way back in to learning through
alternative education programs that offered them a sense of
direction, hope, and purpose - although they also presented them
with some tensions and dilemmas. At a time when educational
policies are bearing down heavily on schools through national
testing regimes, accountability standards, and other repressive
measures, it is refreshing to hear from young people about ways
that schools can be made more humane and educationally rewarding
places.
