A Class Act

This volume discusses changes in views and attitudes about the work of teachers and how these sociological views and attitudes have asserted themselves from 1990 to 2000. The book is organized in three sections. The first lays a theoretical framework by addressing the notion of class and how it affects views of teachers' work. The second section puts the first section's theory into practice through an illustrative analysis of teachers' lives in America and England. The final section focuses on the changes that have affected teachers' work in the 1990s and the world over.
