Weiler, Jeanne D.
Educational Foundations, v12 n3 p5-24 Sum 1998
Examined how adolescent, working class, girls enrolled in an alternative high school for at-risk students anticipated their adult lives. Observation and interview data indicated that the range in plans for future work and family reflected tensions experienced between new possibilities presented by the school and more traditional values of family and community. Recent immigration was a compounding factor. (SM)
