Beschreibung:
Explores the underlying issues in achievement, looking at why some students achieve where others don't.
Using data from an ethnographic case study of a low-achieving girls school, the author explores aspirations and argues that whilst class is very powerful in explaining educational attainment, understanding educational aspirations is somewhat more complex.
