"In Class Dismissed, John Marsh debunks a myth cherished by journalists, politicians, and economists: that growing poverty and inequality in the United States can be solved through education. Using sophisticated analysis combined with personal experience in the classroom, Marsh not only shows that education has little impact on poverty and inequality, but that our mistaken beliefs actively shape the way we structure our schools and what we teach in them. Rather than focus attention on the hierarchy of jobs and power--where most jobs require relatively little education, and the poor enjoy very little political power--money is funneled into educational endeavors that ultimately do nothing to challenge established social structures, and in fact reinforce them. And when educational programs prove ineffective at reducing inequality, the ones whom these programs were intended to help end up blaming themselves. Marsh's struggle to grasp the connection between education, poverty, and inequality is both powerful and poignant"-- Provided by publisher.

Les premières formes de décentralisation de l’action sociale, sur le terrain de la prise en charge de l’enfance inadaptée, remontent au régime de Vichy. Créées à partir de 1943 et maintenues à la Libération, des associations régionales pour la sauvegarde de l’enfance et l’adolescence (ARSEA) au statut ambigu - ni tout à fait publiques ni tout à fait privées - vont être chargées de gérer et de fédérer tout un ensemble protéiforme d’associations et d’œuvres peu habituées à se concerter et à s’entendre dicter ce qu’elles doivent faire. La Bretagne est à cet égard particulièrement représentative de l’essor d’une initiative privée aux visages multiples et des stratégies développées par les acteurs, œuvres et associations pour déjouer toute tentative de coordination, qui se voudrait trop autoritaire. La Fédération bretonne de Sauvegarde réussira cependant à créer un réseau d’adhérents et de fidèles qui se hisseront aux avant-postes, en France, de la promotion de l’éducation spécialisée. Pour autant, au début des années 1960, l’état cherche à diminuer l’influence de ces personnalités qui entendent souvent donner le la en matière de politique en faveur des jeunes en difficulté, devenant parfois juges et parties. Les ARSEA se transforment alors en CREAI (centres régionaux pour l’enfance et l’adolescence inadaptées), dont le rôle va se réduire peu à peu à la portion congrue. Des années 1970 au milieu des années 1980, ce livre suit pas à pas l’épopée de cette décentralisation avant la lettre et, ce faisant, permet de saisir bien des enjeux qui aujourd’hui encore traversent le travail social.

What factors enable individuals to overcome adverse childhoods and move on to rewarding lives in adulthood? Drawing on data collected from two of Britain's richest research resources for the study of human development, the 1958 National Child Development Study and the 1970 British Cohort Study, this 2006 book investigates the phenomenon of 'resilience' - the ability to adjust positively to adverse conditions. Comparing the experiences of over 30,000 individuals born twelve years apart, Schoon examines the transition from childhood into adulthood and the assumption of work and family related roles among individuals born in 1958 and 1970 respectively. The study focuses on academic attainment among high and low risk individuals, but also considers behavioural adjustment, health and psychological well-being, as well as the stability of adjustment patterns in times of social change. This is a major work of reference and synthesis, that makes an important contribution to the study of lifelong development.
