Description
Schools and Societies provides a comprehensive overview of key issues in the sociology of education. This fully revised and updated third edition offers a broader sweep, stronger theoretical foundation, and a new concluding chapter on the possibilities of schooling. The book explores the role of schools as social institutions, compares schooling in industrialized and developing countries, and discusses the major purposes of schooling: transmitting culture, socializing young people, and sorting youth for class locations and occupations. The author draws on comparative studies to examine school reform efforts and considers the educational ideals that schools should strive for. With updated, expanded information, this edition delivers accessible explanations that are relevant for students and instructors alike.
