Cliques, Clans, Community, and Competence: The Experiences of Students with Behavioral Disorders in Rural School Systems.
Bloom, Lisa A.; Habel, John
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v14 n2 p95-106 Fall 1998
Interviews with 39 rural North Carolina students with, or at risk for, behavioral disorders found that they responded to social isolation by creating their own school subculture that reinforced their marginalization and negatively affected academic competence. Educators must consider the relationship between social interaction and learning. Contains 45 references. (TD)
