: Twenty-two high school students in the St. Louis area were the first to participate in a new civics education program teaching them about the federal Judiciary through a landmark Supreme Court case that originated in their hometown and local
: Two columns ago, I followed the money through a law firm’s student recruitment program and found nearly $500,000 a year in lawyer time and expenses before a single billable hour was worked. Last column, I followed that same money into the delegation of actual work and found that firms were quietly losing much of it back through vague instructions, overworked memos, and write-downs nobody quite wants to talk about.

Pourtant, malgré cette popularisation, le vécu subjectif de cette population demeure largement invisibilisé par une littérature scientifique souvent centrée sur une démonstration de sa réussite pédagogique et l'efficacité technique de ses dispositifs. Ce travail de recherche comble ce manque en explorant la « fabrication » de l’expérience scolaire au sein de cet environnement numérique.
