Families and Faith: How Religion is Passed Down across Generations
Few things are more likely to cause heartache for devout parents than seeing their child leave the faith. And it seems, from media portrayals, that this is happening more and more frequently. But is religious change between generations common? How does religion get passed down from one generation to the next? Families and Faith seeks to answer these questions and many more. For almost four decades, Vern Bengtson and his colleagues have been condu…

The influence of socio-economic and health differences on parents' provision of help to adult children: A British–United States comparison
Transfers of assistance from older to younger family members are an important, though often ignored, component of intergenerational exchanges. The ability to help younger family members, either financially or practically, may be influenced by the health and socio-economic status of older parents, but very little is known about these patterns. This article examines the effects of socio-economic and health status on the help that late mid-life pare…
Socioeconomic Differences in Having Living Parents and Children: A U.S.‐British Comparison of Middle‐Aged Women
This article examines the relationship between socioeconomic status and having living children and parents among 55‐ to 63‐year‐old women in the United States and Britain. The goals are to quantify the outcomes of slightly different demographic regimes on close kin networks and to assess the potential implications of policies that in both countries increasingly emphasize family responsibility. In the cohorts examined, U.S. respondents are substan…

Partnership, community and the market in careers education and guidance: Conflicting discourses
The guidance system in England and Wales has often been praised for its partnership approach involving schools and the Careers Service, unlike other countries where guidance is the responsibility of one institution. Partnership is examined in the context of the introduction of market principles in education and guidance which has placed accountability at the centre. Drawing on data from empirical research, it is argued that there has been a signi…

It's not that I haven't learnt much. It's just that I don't really understand what I'm doing’: Metacognition and secondary‐school students
In this paper we explore how students understand and develop strategies for coping with the demands and pressures of year 10, which, we argue, are different from those of earlier years. We also examine students' attitudes towards different learning contexts. Data are drawn from a 4‐year longitudinal qualitative study of students' experiences of schooling, following three groups of students in three comprehensive schools during their last four yea…
Entitled to What? Control and Autonomy in School: A student perspective
In this paper the National Curriculum (and other changes brought about by the Education Reform Act, ERA) is used as a context within which the notion of entitlement is discussed from a student perspective. The National Curriculum was described by the British government and its supporters as providing a coherent and broad curriculum and as an ‘entitlement curriculum’. Data presented here are drawn from a four‐year longitudinal qualitative research…
School Work, Homework and Gender
This paper explores female and male students' attitudes towards school work in terms of application and achievement. The data are drawn from interviews with students, teachers, careers officers and welfare officers in three semi‐rural comprehensive schools in one local education authority (LEA) [1]. (The students were in their last year of compulsory schooling, Year 11, and were aged 16 [2].) The three schools had invited the authors to explore w…
Establishing the seriousness of learning in the early years of secondary schooling
This paper is written on the basis of data gathered during the first phase of a longitudinal study involving three comprehensive schools. The study is interview‐based and is designed to contribute to knowledge and understanding of the ways in which students perceive, make sense of, and respond to opportunities for learning during the last four years of compulsory schooling. The strategies that schools use to signal the importance of learning and …
Careers teachers: Who are they and what do they do
Very little is known about careers teachers although, in one form or another, there have been teachers bearing such a title in schools since the 1920s. The fact that they still do not have a high profile is all the more remarkable given that in the last decade there has been more public discussion than ever before on the ability of schools to ‘turn out’ suitably trained and orientated youngsters capable of finding and holding down jobs. The artic…
A Career on the Margins? The Position of Careers Teachers in Schools
Careers teachers have at no time in their history enjoyed a high status in schools. This is surprising given the current demands for schools to equip youngsters with the social and work skills required for their future lives. The data drawn on derive from an in‐depth study of 43 careers teachers from 12 comprehensive schools in one Midlands local authority. The paper shows that the careers teachers studied are not a homogeneous group; they come f…
