An Exclusive Education by Chris Searle
A polemical but well-researched analysis of the policies which are cau sing unacceptable levels of exclusion in British primary and secondary schools, particularly of black children, from a well-known educational campaigner. The author provides a wealth of statistical information, together with many case studies of wrongly excluded children. He also describes the attacks made on him by the NASUWT and local education authority in Sheffield, when he instituted a no exclusion policy as a headteacher. The book argues that exclusions are symptomatic of a wider culture of social exclusion, and puts forward alternative policies for dealing with difficult students - policies based, among other things, on a recognition that feelings of exclusion often contribute to the problem behaviour of students, and that a key task of any school is to actively work for the inclusion of all its students.| SKU | Unavailable |
