Summary: This book examines the educaiton of six students from the Progress at School project. Why do some children make better progress at school than others?

The six students, all of at least 'good average' ability, had very different achievements: Alice, working class girl, European, entered univeristy; Bruno, working class boy, European, started work; Ripeka: working class girl, Maori, left school; Leon, middle class boy, Samoan, entered university; Rena, working class girl, Maori, left school.
