Compulsory Schooling in Australia Perspectives from Students, Parents, and Educators

"Compulsory Schooling in Australia is a valuable and timely addition to current explorations of post-high school outcomes particularly for students for whom school has been difficult or alienating. Using data from students, parents, and teachers, Reid and Watson provide rich insights into the worlds of students who are expected to negotiate schooling in today's neoliberal context. This book promises to be a significant resource for academics, educators, policymakers, parents, and students. " Carl James, Professor, York University, Canada
