Fifty young
children were interviewed concerning their experiences, expectations,
and perceptions about starting school. Responses indicated strong
focus on rules encountered in school and feelings about going to
school. Conventional rules were mentioned most often, with moral
and task rules negligible. Seventy-five percent of references to
dispositions or feelings were positive. Negative dispositions included
feeling sad or scared. (Author/KB)
