'Robert Dreeben’s work cuts across many aspects of the sociology of
education and is at the background of a whole range of discussions
in the field. In this context On What Is Learned in School remains
a most important document. The book has been my on own course
reading list for decades and remains there now. It has many
followers and is a landmark achievement.' (John W. Meyer, Stanford
University)
'[O]ne of the very best books written about the sociology of
schools. The book benefits from a clear theoretical perspective,
which illuminates the dynamics of a personality as it passes from
the world of the family of origin to the adult world of work and
politics.' (Amitai Etzioni, Sociology of Education)
Dreeben has fleshed out . . . the bare bones of an argument
that Parsons first advanced in an article on the school class as a
social system . . . and has contributed his own theoretical
insights into the relationship of the structure of the school to
the socialization process.' (Jan J. Loubser, Sociology of
Education)
