All this begs the question of what it means to be inside and outside the
community, and conversely, what/where/when are the boundaries of the
community. Who says who's in and who's out?
Are the lads in Willis' study in or out of the school community? They might
say "out", but in actively conspiring against school culture, do they not
participate in it, shape it, and therefore constitute part of it?
Not intending to make trouble, it just comes naturally when I'm puzzled.
