Teachers in the Inner City: Experience-Based Ratings of Factors That Place Students at Risk.
Johnson, Genevieve Marie
Preventing School Failure, v42 n1 p19-26 Fall 1997
A study of 56 inner-city Canadian teachers found they believed that student behavior and attitude combined with familial situations were strongly related to students becoming at risk for school failure. School violence and gangs, large class sizes, and limited school resources and programs were rated as moderately contributing to student risk. (CR)
