Billington, Tom: Separating, Losing and Excluding Children: Narratives of
Difference. Falmer Press 2000
Product Description:
There has been an outpouring of children from schools over the last few years.
The reasons for their exclusion from schools include: learning difficulties,
behavioral problems, or physical disability. Other reasons that are not
dependent on a 'deficit' model of the children relate to Conservative-led
initiatives involving school league tables, greater accountability, inspections,
etc. Whatever the reasons, the new government are committed to reducing the
number of children who are forced out of mainstream schooling. This book is very
much in the mold of the series - although it has a slightly more practical tone.
The author addresses the key issues and relates them to the main theory/literature
in the area, including the work of Vygotsky, Foucault, Lacan, Burman and Bion.
He 'unpicks' the major theories and applies them to possible ways of working
with children in the classroom. Four case studies are used in order to make
these proposed ways of working more accessible. As with other books in the
series, exercises, readings and questions are set throughout.
