The collection of papers focuses on the careers of 'problem' children and young people who have experienced some form of special provision in school. They have all, in different ways, been segregated on account of their perceived disruptiveness, truancy, bullying, aggression, delinquency or nonconformity.

The book presents the work of teachers and researchers who have investigated special provision from the point of view of 'problem' children. Not only are the children given a voice; the book also examines the effectiveness of their education.

Contributors include: Judith Antiss, Robert Burgess, Paul Cooper, Richard Davis, Phil Craig, Jo Crozier, Phil Garner, Tanya Howe, Susan de Pear and Anne Sinclair Taylor.
