Based on participant-observation research at an upper-middle class suburban high school, this book incisively explains the causes and consequences of the decline of American public education throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Industry Reviews

"A provocative book. Its ethnographic value is clear."--Contemporary Sociology "Dr. Larkin's book is a rare find--one that combines ethnographic sophistication with macro-social awareness. His book is not only relevant to education but to any student of socialization, social psychology or of American society."--Peter Freund, Montclair State College
