“It is argued that, in addition to the obvious changes that
children experience in relation to such things as school size, the
number of teachers and the range of new subjects, the move
from primary to secondary school also involves a transition
between two radically different cultures of schooling.”
(Hargreaves, Earl and Ryan 1996; Cullingford
1999).
