Abstract
This case study seeks to understand a secondary school Indian students'
interpretations of their 'actions', i.e. the deviant behaviour. In other words the focus
of this research is to explore the reasons why Indian students in secondary schools
show deviant behaviour. Data for this study was collected through informal
interviews with the school administrators, teachers and Indian pupils,
observations and survey questionnaires. The study reveals that the problems of the
Indian students were often overlooked by school administrative authorities. These
inactions have led to dissatisfaction, frustration and disappointment among Indian
students. Indian students believe that the teachers have negative assumptions about
them and they look down upon the Indians. They do not find the time to hear
their problems and find means and ways to solve them. As such those who are not
..
up to the expectations of the teachers feel neglected and left out. This ha.S led to
academic failure, disappointment and frustrations. They retaliate and go against
the school norms. School environment too does not encourage enough meaningful
social interactions among peer groups. Racial sentiments, clique systems and
exclusion are very common. Provocation by the students ofthe majority race was often overlooked. Coping strategies of the peer groups among the Indian
students cause them to deviate. To conclude, school experiences for some Indian
students are dissatisfying, unhappy and frustrating. This is the cause of deviant
behaviour among the Indian students in the particular secondary schooL So, the
school has to play a more caring role to help Indian students feel welcome in the
school environment.
