This book presents an ethnographic study of the experiences of
teenage boys in an Australian high school. It follows a group of
thirteen to fifteen year olds over a period of more than two years,
and seeks to understand why so many boys say they hate school yet
enjoy being with one another in their daily confrontations with the
formal school. The study acknowledges the ongoing significance of
the "boys' debate" to policy-makers and the media, and therefore to
teachers and parents, but moves it on from issues of gender
construction and the panic about achievement to the broader
question of what it is to experience being schooled as a boy in the
new liberal educational environment.
