{"product_id":"boys-and-their-schooling-john-whelen-9780415879170","title":"Boys and Their Schooling: The Experience of Becoming Someone Else","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents an ethnographic study of the experiences of teenage boys in an Australian high school. It follows a group of thirteen to fifteen year olds over a period of more than two years, and seeks to understand why so many boys say they hate school yet enjoy being with one another in their daily confrontations with the formal school. The study acknowledges the ongoing significance of the \"boys' debate\" to policy-makers and the media, and therefore to teachers and parents, but moves it on from issues of gender construction and the panic about achievement to the broader question of what it is to experience being schooled as a boy in the new liberal educational environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Whelen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415879175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415879170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 161","brand":"John Whelen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136120500479,"sku":"9780415879170","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ced9c0b1-485d-432d-a054-d59b92c86ec9.jpg?v=1770160647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boys-and-their-schooling-john-whelen-9780415879170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
