This study illuminates how the everyday activity of teachers raises profound economic, cultural, ethical, political and research issues, and provides a newand fruitful way of examining the practice of teaching. The first part of thebook offers a detailed description of sensitively recorded school situations,arising from work carried out in a number of British primary schools. From the analysis of their research the authors constructed a theoretical perspectivefor looking at schooling in the form of sixteen 'dilemmas¿; the second half of the book is concerned with this perspective, and shows how the dilemmas constitute a language for looking at everyday schooling and relating it to more general political, social and cultural issues. The book thus spans the gap in educational thinking between work with a firm empirical base and specifically theoretical studies.
