"The School Years" presents a collection of essays on key issues affecting young people in the school setting. This new edition takes into account the major social changes which have occurred since 1979, changes which have had a direct impact on education and young people. Poverty and unemployment, training of post 16-year-olds, the problems of sexual and emotional abuse, the phenomenon of AIDS, issues of gender, race, and equal opportunities, increasing divorce rates - all these have affected the lives of children and adolescents. In addition, in the UK and many other countries, education reforms have altered the organization and ethos of the school setting, inevitably creating even greater challenges for the students. The contributors explore the fundamental questions about human development in the school setting, focusing on such aspects as the learning of gender roles, the origin of the concept of self, the role of the peer group, the development of morality and the causes of delinquency.
