Focusing on a secondary school in a disadvantaged Australian community, this book explores the dynamics of schooling through the insights of teachers, parents, and students. It argues that all stakeholders contribute to perpetuating educational disadvantage but also hold the power to foster change for marginalized students. The authors emphasize the need for teachers to transform the educational landscape, enhancing opportunities for all young people. Additionally, the work engages with Bourdieu's theories, suggesting schools can serve as agents of transformation rather than mere societal reproducers.
