The Social Life of the Teenager and its Impact on Education
“To put the matter briefly, if secondary education is to be successful, it must successfully compete with cars and sports and social activities for the adolescents’ attention, in an open market. The adolescent is no longer a child, but will spend his energy in the ways he sees fit. It is up to the adult society to so structure secondary education that it captures this energy.”
These words were written more than 45 years ago by James S. Coleman in his study of “The Social Life of the Teenager and its Impact on Education”, published in a book called “The Adolescent Society”. They are even more valid today
