Originally published in 1986, this book presents three full case
studies of secondary school communities in Australia: one city
school in a working-class area, one community school serving a
wide, more rural area, and a school with an academic tradition in
the suburbs of a large city. The material is drawn together to
discuss and describe the issues revealed by the studies: these
include discipline, boredom, staff-student relations, and the
relevance of school work to the outside world. The book includes
interviews with both students and teachers, recording the reactions
of students to the way they are being taught, and their views on
whether it is worth working hard at school when there is no
certainly of a job at the end of it. The philosophy of the teachers
emerges in the interviews, as do their views on the prospect of
changing students' attitudes from those acquired at home, and on
the need for vocational rather than academic courses. What also
comes out in the interviews is their realistic attitudes to their
students' future job prospects, and their views on alternative
courses which could prepare the pupils for life rather than for a
specific job. The book also includes an account of how the case
studies were undertaken and reported. The methodological chapters
set out some of the dilemmas and the possibilities in the study of
such complex human situations.
