Coleman, Plowden, Jencks, and Now, Rutter: An Assessment of a Recent Contribution to the Debate on School Effects.
Cuttance, Peter F.
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v24 n4 p191-205 1980
Critically assesses a 1979 book by Rutter et al. entitled "Fifteen Thousand Hours: Secondary Schools and Their Effects on Children." Argues that the Rutter study fails to provide scientific evidence which is relevant and capable of corroborating its major hypothesis: that there are significant differences between schools. (AN)
