Responses to questionnaires administered to 10,000 senior high school students to ascertain their feelings of alienation as related to their schools are presented. The questionnaire items concerned: School as an Institution, The School as Teacher, Authority--Autonomy, and Parental Interest in School. The findings that resulted from the questionnaire returns included the following: (1) over half of the students either saw little relationship between what they learn in school and life outside school or find school experience contradictory to out-of-school learning; (2) two students in five stated they were working below their ability in school; they missed one or more days of school because they did not want to come; they saw teachers doing the planning and telling students what to do; and they did not remember a teacher compliment; (3) one student in three judged school content as missing the important community problems; (4) one student in four saw school regulations as too strict, and believed that someone or something prevents him from achieving in school; (5) one in five had no pride in any school experience; saw school content missing the important problems of the country; would like to stay away from school on many days; was dissatisfied with his treatment by teachers; had trouble pleasing teachers; and never talked with his parents regarding school or school work; (6) one in six found school no aid in answering personal problems and questions; (7) one in seven did not know what value his parents placed on school learning; and (8) one in 14 would quit school if possible.
