This book is ideal for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding school discipline and its long-term impact on children. It provides valuable insights for those seeking humane and effective approaches to challenging behaviours in educational settings.

A radical educator's paradigm-shifting inquiry into the accepted, normal demands of school, as illuminated by moving portraits of four young "problem children" Troublemakers allows us to see school through the eyes of those who know firsthand what it means to be labeled a problem.

Description

Despite decades of research on classroom management and school discipline, so-called bad behaviour nevertheless persists in every kind of classroom in every kind of school. Even as the harsh disciplining of adolescent behaviour has been called out as part of the school-to-prison pipeline, the diverse 'problem children' in Troublemakers—Zora, Lucas, Sean, and Marcus—reveal how a child's path to excessive punishment and exclusion in fact begins at a much younger age.
