Summary

By drawing directly on girls' own accounts and experiences of school life and their perception of exclusion, this book offers new perspectives on the issue of disaffection amongst girls. The authors of this book propose a re-definition of exclusion, as it applies to girls, recognising that it can occur through feelings of isolation, unresolved personal, family or emotional problems, bullying and truancy. By considering the issues from the perspectives of a wide range of professionals, not just those allied to the teaching profession, the authors provide new insights into complex problems surrounding social inclusion and gender discrimination and offer strategies that can help reverse this worrying trend.
