4.0 out of 5 stars Educational and disturbing, February 16, 2006
This review is from: Sneaky Kid and Its Aftermath: Ethics and Intimacy in Fieldwork (Paperback)
I think this is a great book for anyone getting started in qualitative techniques with education. You can see that even qualitative researchers are forced to filter their work to make it palatable, as can be seen by comparing Wolcott's description of his subject in the first chapters with the reality he acknowledges later. Admittedly, not all researchers have quandaries such as the author did. But you may find Wolcott to be arrogant for his refusal to apologize or even consider responsibility (which he denigrates as an overt social control mechanism).
