It is theoretically rich and its findings are profound.  It is also a model of excellence for qualitative research methods. -- Adam Gamoran, University of Wisconsin, Madison\u003cbr\u003eHome Advantage is a marvelous tool for teaching about both the dynamics of school-family linkages and the realities of the process of social research.  The book invariably triggers spirited discussions among students, and has a lasting influence on how they think about the sociology of education and about research. -- Aaron M. Pallas, professor of sociology and education, Teachers College, Columbia University\u003cbr\u003eHome Advantage is a superb empirical study of family-school relations. The nuanced analysis, especially of the dynamics of social class, has given this work the well-earned status of a classic whose insights are of lasting value. -- Barrie Thorne, author of Gender Play: Girls and Boys in School\u003cbr\u003eAn important and timely book about the ways parents are able (and unable) to shape their children’s educational experiences. . . .
