"They Get Enough of That at Home": Understanding Aversion to Popular Culture in Schools.
Lambirth, Andrew
Reading: Literacy and Language, v37 n1 p9-13 Apr 2003
Examines why, despite research and opinion that favors the utilization of popular texts to teach literacy, teachers in a research and development project still have an aversion to embracing children's interest in popular culture. Finds teachers who did not wish to use popular culture in their classrooms shared similar traditional conceptions of literacy with many of those who advocated the use of popular texts in the classroom.
