{"product_id":"9781447370253","title":"Lost Boys : How Education is Failing Young Working-Class Men by Alex Blower","description":"Since the mid-2000s, consistent commentary from politicians and media outlets in the UK have presented low educational attainment and low aspiration as defining attributes of working-class boys in education. It has often characterised them as misogynistic, aggressive and unwilling to learn. But how true is this? Combining research, real-life case studies and the author's experience of navigating school exclusion, this book provides clear recommendations for how to better support the health, wellbeing and vulnerabilities of working-class boys and men through both policy and practice.   Challenging us to reconsider ideas about the role of masculinity in the lives of working-class boys and men, the book asks what would change if, instead of focusing on perceived individual failures, we considered the troubled relationship between working-class boys and the social and educational systems in which they reside.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56300152226165,"sku":"9781447370253","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781447370253","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
