Socialization without Voice: An Ideology of Hope for At-Risk Students.

Hamovitch, Bram A.

Teachers College Record, v98 n2 p286-306 Win 1996

Investigates the informal curriculum of a state-funded after-school dropout prevention program for adolescents. The program's goal is to resocialize them into their schools and enable them to achieve academic success. The paper proposes that the program fails to achieve its goal because of its ideology, and it recommends an alternative perspective that appreciates differences. (SM)
