| Resumo: | In the last thirty years, Argentina has seen a surge in enrollments at private schools; however, many middle-class families with the resources to pay for private education are resisting the majority trend and are remaining at state-run schools. This is a descriptive-correlational study based on information gathered from 30 semi-structured, open interviews with 21 mothers and 9 fathers from middle- and upper-class families with children of school age who, unlike the majority of those of the same social status, are choosing state schools for their children. The study also attempts to understand the choice of state school and the account that is constructed as part of an identity-building process. |
