I Honestly Can't See the Point: Youth Negotiation of the Ideology of School Completion.

Taylor, Anthea

Journal of Education Policy, v17 n5 p511-29 Sep-Oct 2002

Discusses the way the notion of school completion is being cast, its supporting discourse, and the manner in which this has the potential to marginalize and exclude. Focus is not about why youths leave school before completion, but about how these youths assess their decisions to leave or not to leave in terms of the ideology regarding school completion.
