In their own words, ten diverse adolescents talk about their
school experiences, family issues, societal problems and their own
attempt to deal with social inequities. The book is also a study of
future talk, as jointly constructed attempts by students at making
sense of their educational and vocational goals and their own sense
of where the education and guidance systems have helped or failed
them. Using tools of discourse analysis developed for this study,
Dr. Sachs presents a systematic way of looking at the construction
of groundedness in social contexts, particularly how and how
effectively adolescents construct their arguments for the choices
they make.
The business of education touches many facets of society, and
this study will be of interest to practitioners who wish to become
qualitative researchers, for students in qualitative methods
courses, and for middle and high school guidance sources including
teachers and parents who want to better understand adolescents'
concerns. And it is a book for adolescents themselves who, in
reading what their peers are saying, can reflect on their own sense
of where they are currently and in which direction they want to
go.
