Pupil Identity and Differentiation in British Public Schools.

Tovey, Philip

British Educational Research Journal, v19 n2 p175-90 1993

Reports on a study of school subcultures and their impact on 16 ex-public school British students, age 18-21. Finds that subcultures are genuine interactive units grounded in shared ideological positions. States that the subcultures fit within a hierarchical pattern and the higher the subculture the greater the level of exclusion. (CFR)
