On the Success of Failure

A Reassessment of the Effects of Retention in the Primary School Grades

By: Karl L. Alexander,Doris R. Entwisle,Susan L. Dauber

This book is about the practice of grade retention in elementary school, a particularly vexing problem in urban school systems, where upward of half the students may repeat a grade. On the Success of Failure addresses whether repeating a grade is helpful or harmful when children are not keeping up. It describes the school context of retention and evaluates its consequences by tracking the experiences of a large, representative sample of Baltimore school children from first grade through high school. In addition to evaluating the consequences of retention, the book describes the cohort s dispersion along many different educational pathways from first grade through middle school, the articulation of retention with other forms of educational tracking (like reading group placements in the early primary grades and course-level assignments in middle school), and repeaters academic and school adjustment problems before they were held back.

The Long Shadow

Family Background, Disadvantaged Urban Youth, and the Transition to Adulthood

By: Karl Alexander,Doris Entwisle,Linda Olson

A volume in the American Sociological Association's Rose Series in Sociology West Baltimore stands out in the popular imagination as the quintessential “inner city”—gritty, run-down, and marred by drugs and gang violence. Indeed, with the collapse of manufacturing jobs in the 1970s, the area experienced a rapid onset of poverty and high unemployment, with few public resources available to alleviate economic distress. But in stark contrast to the image of a perpetual “urban underclass” depicted in television by shows like The Wire, sociologists Karl Alexander, Doris Entwisle, and Linda Olson present a more nuanced portrait of Baltimore’s inner city residents that employs important new research on the significance of early-life opportunities available to low-income populations. The Long Shadow focuses on children who grew up in west Baltimore neighborhoods and others like them throughout the city, tracing how their early lives in the inner city have affected their long-term well-being. Although research for this book was conducted in Baltimore, that city’s struggles with deindustrialization, white flight, and concentrated poverty were characteristic of most East Coast and Midwest manufacturing cities. The experience of Baltimore’s children who came of age during this era is mirrored in the experiences of urban children across the nation. For 25 years, the authors of The Long Shadow tracked the life progress of a group of almost 800 predominantly low-income Baltimore school children through the Beginning School Study Youth Panel (BSSYP). The study monitored the children’s transitions to young adulthood with special attention to how opportunities available to them as early as first grade shaped their socioeconomic status as adults. The authors’ fine-grained analysis confirms that the children who lived in more cohesive neighborhoods, had stronger families, and attended better schools tended to maintain a higher economic status later in life. As young adults, they held higher-income jobs and had achieved more personal milestones (such as marriage) than their lower-status counterparts. Differences in race and gender further stratified life opportunities for the Baltimore children. As one of the first studies to closely examine the outcomes of inner-city whites in addition to African Americans, data from the BSSYP shows that by adulthood, white men of lower status family background, despite attaining less education on average, were more likely to be employed than any other group in part due to family connections and long-standing racial biases in Baltimore’s industrial economy. Gender imbalances were also evident: the women, who were more likely to be working in low-wage service and clerical jobs, earned less than men. African American women were doubly disadvantaged insofar as they were less likely to be in a stable relationship than white women, and therefore less likely to benefit from a second income. Combining original interviews with Baltimore families, teachers, and other community members with the empirical data gathered from the authors’ groundbreaking research, The Long Shadow unravels the complex connections between socioeconomic origins and socioeconomic destinations to reveal a startling and much-needed examination of who succeeds and why.

Das Recht der Netzwerkgesellschaft

Das Recht der Netzwerkgesellschaft

By: Karl-Heinz Ladeur

Nach der ¿Gesellschaft der Individuen± die ¿Gesellschaft der Organisationen±, nach der ¿Gesellschaft der Organisationen± die ¿Gesellschaft der Netzwerke±!" So beschreibt Karl-Heinz Ladeur schlagwortartig die Selbsttransformation der Gesellschaft in den westlichen Ländern der letzten hundertfünfzig Jahre. Der Untergang eines von monarchischer Repräsentationskraft bestimmten Staates führte auch in den kontinentaleuropäischen Rechtssystemen seit dem späten 19. Jahrhundert zu einer stärkeren Öffnung für eine Welt aus Relationen. Die überkommenen subjektphilosophischen Transzendentalfiguren und vertikalen Begründungsverhältnisse werden durch horizontale Beziehungen ergänzt und ersetzt, an denen zunächst primär Organisationen und Gruppen und heute mehr und mehr sich fortlaufend verändernde Netzwerke beteiligt sind. Auf diese gewandelte gesellschaftliche Situation muss sich das Recht einstellen. Es muss dazu die veränderte Rolle der Ungewissheit verarbeiten, die nicht länger im Sinne klassischer Rationalitätsvorstellungen durch die Gewinnung eines festen Grundes weitgehend beseitigt oder zumindest verdrängt werden kann. Gefordert ist die Anpassung des modernen Rechts an eine Netzwerklogik der relationalen Rationalität, die in unterschiedlichen Feldern - Rechtstheorie, Rechtsmethodologie, Staatstheorie, Verfassungstheorie, Verwaltungsrecht usw. - zu operationalisieren ist --
