Abstract
The Starting School Research Project promotes the involvement of children in the research agenda. This paper explores some of the philosophical and methodological issues involved in this stance. The main focus of this paper is the voices of children reporting issues of significance to them as they start compulsory schooling, through drawings, descriptions, photographs and demonstrations.Keywords
