Abstract

Analyzes the extraordinary behind the ordinary in UK schools, arguing that the extraordinary represents an important dimension of the way the organization of the school is maintained and managed. Deals with the culture of the school, then looks at aspects of school administration having to do with school time, school efficiency drives, and the testing/examination culture. Examines the risk culture associated with end-of-the-year rituals, and health projects in schools associated with physical education and AIDS. No index.
