Freaks, geeks, and cool kids : teenagers in an era of consumerism, standardized tests, and social media

Summary: "Freaks, Geeks, and Cool Kids argues that the teenage behaviors that annoy adults do not arise from 'hormones,' bad parenting, poor teaching, or 'the media,' but from adolescents' lack of power over the central features of their lives: they must attend school; they have no control over the curriculum; they can't choose who their classmates are. What teenagers do have is the power to create status systems and symbols that not only exasperate adults, but also impede learning and maturing. Ironically, parents, educators, and businesses are inadvertently major contributors to these outcomes"--Provided by publisher.
