| Abstract | Excellence was seldom to be found in 2006, when David Ferrero, an officer of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, reviewed five firsthand, book-length accounts of teaching and learning at individual high schools. In one account, a rookie teacher, telling her own story, "struggles to establish authority in her classes and generally fails;...her students ritually defy her, going so far as to openly declare their intention to get her fired for the sheer sport of it." A powerful but hostile peer group seemed in charge of the learning process. According to Cornell economist John Bishop, the problem begins in middle school, where "nerds" are harassed. The problem did not appear suddenly at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Fifty years earlier James Coleman, reflecting on his own adolescence, had detected something quite similar and then provided a sociological explanation for the phenomenon. In this article, the author provides an account of sociologist James Coleman's research and its role in history. He recalls the bitterness of the controversy provoked by Coleman's writings and reveals how Coleman's insights were rooted in his own high-school experiences. (ERIC). |
