Gender and the Discourse of Derision.
Delamont, Sara
Research Papers in Education: Policy and Practice, v14 n1 p3-21 Mar 1999
Sets the current public debate about gender and schooling in England into a historical and a United Kingdom-wide context, addressing the highly politicized context in which educational research on gender has taken place over the past 20 years, discussing the feminization of teaching, and examining attacks on English schools for failing boys as a discourse of derision.
