Are Students Failing School or Are Schools Failing Students? Class Cutting in High School

Journal of Social Issues, 2003
In many urban public high schools today, students navigate their day by selectively cutting class leading to course failure and dropping out. Collaborative, qualitative research conducted with urban high school students indicates that cutting results from disengagement and alienation that students label “boredom.” Focus group data (N= 160 in 8 groups)

Student Unrest in Secondary Schools

Clinical Pediatrics, 1969
