studied the language that was used by teachers to criticise / discipline students.. 1) Disciplinarian Discourse (males): where the teachers authority is made clear.+ 2) Liberal Discourse (females): where the teachers authority is invisible.

Francis (laddish subcultures)

males are more concerned about their masculinity then females are about their femininity... males are more affected by labels that are given by their peers...boys dont want to be labelled as 'gay' and so avoid schoolwork. 'real boys dont work' view

Ringrose

idea of girls 'having it all' and 'girl power' has led to a moral panic about the failure of boys. people are concerned that failing boys will lead to a group of working class boys who are dangerous + unemployable.
