After the Bell: Family Background, Public Policy, and Educational Success New York, NY: Routledge, 2004. Also: http://www.questiaschool.com/read/107504305 Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79, NLSY97, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Routledge ==> Taylor & Francis (1998) Keyword(s): Employment, In-School; High School Completion/Graduates; High School Students; Time Use About the Book Since the publication of the Coleman report in the US many decades ago, it has been widely accepted that the evidence that schools are marginal in the grand scheme of academic achievement is conclusive. Despite this, educational policy across the world remains focused almost exclusively on schools. With contributions from such figures as Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Doris Entwistle and Richard Arum this book is an important contribution to a debate that has implications across the board in social sciences and policy-making. It will be required reading for students and academics within sociology, economics and education and should also find a place on the bookshelves of education policy-makers. Contents |
