Item The Impact of School Characteristics on Passing and Failing Status of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2008) Powell, AnneSocial policies for children and youth have experienced frequent philosophical shifts and taken considerably different directions in the past century (Jenson & Fraser, 2006). Many social policies have been created in reaction to certain events or situations. A reactive approach to policy-making has led to inconsistent and fragmented policies and programs that often fall short of addressing the complex individual and social problems that confront many children, youth, and families (Jenson & Fraser, 2006).
