Making Controversy: Who's "At Risk"?

Fine, Michelle

Journal of Urban and Cultural Studies, v1 n1 p55-68 1990

Public obsession with issues of measurement, early intervention, promotion, suspension, education, age of exit, and alternative education dominates discourse on what can be done about high school dropouts. Additional controversial issues of societal structural interdependence are examined for their importance in education reform for minority and "at-risk" youth. (SLD)
