An anti-school subculture was identified by the Marxist sociologist Paul Willis in his famous study "Learning to Labour" where a group of working-class male pupils ("the Lads") subverted the values of the school: for them academic success was frowned upon while "mucking about" was rewarded. They identified themselves in opposition to the (those who conformed to the school's expectations who might be considered a pro-school subculture. Other sociologists have identified various subcultures within schools and have explored a range of reasons for why these subcultures form.
