The Exclusionary Comprehensive School System: The Experience of Showground Families in Scotland.
Jordan, Elizabeth
International Journal of Educational Research, v33 n3 p253-63 2000
Studied the education of Showground families in Scotland, a group of traveling show and fairground entertainers who tend to settle in one place for the winter, putting their children in the local schools. Data from many sources about the approximately 400 families in this group show weaknesses in the actions developed to address the underachievement of this group. (SLD)
