Introduction : an invitation to meet the class -- Living and learning in the digital age -- A year of fieldwork -- Networks and social worlds -- Identities and relationships -- Life at school : from routines to civility -- Learning at school : measuring and levelling the self -- Life at home together and apart -- Making space for learning in the home -- Learning to play music : class, culture, and taste -- Life trajectories, social mobility, and cultural capital -- Conclusions : conservative, competitive or connected.
Summary: Do today's youth have more opportunities than their parents? As they build their own social and digital networks, does that offer new routes to learning and friendship? How do they navigate the meaning of education in a digitally connected but fiercely competitive, highly individualised world? Based upon fieldwork at an ordinary London school, 'The Class' examines young people's experiences of growing up and learning in a digital world. It explores youth values, teenagers' perspectives on their futures, and their tactics for facing the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
