Description
Summary:This paper is intended to provide some considerations on upper-class families' educational choices, based on the results of a research carried out with children aged 9-12 years in the city of Turin. As far as it concerns its theoretical framework, the research has referred both to contributions given by the new sociology of childhood and to those on the subject of educational family practices according to social class, with significant implications for the relationship between family and school, which is often confrontational. The core of this work is to explore the meaning of educational practices for parents and for teachers, as well as the tensions that can arise from the conflict between these two agencies of socialisation, the value given to school success, and the consequences on the life course of children precociously socialised towards adult models, starting with a pace of daily life in which free time is becoming more and more residual.
