How Parents Recreate and Reproduce the Boundaries

Alice is a White, upper-class mother with three children. She and her husband moved to TCS’s neighborhood 14 years ago because they had friends there. Alice found out about the public schools because a woman in her apartment building “took the plunge” and sent her children to public schools and was really “happy.” Growing up, Alice had attended excellent public schools in the Midwest and replies, “I really believe in the public school. I’m not a private school kind of person. I like the diversity. I like that the PTA and parents work really hard to provide extra enrichment kinds of programs … so that we can, you know, we feel like they’re getting the things that they might not otherwise get in public schools.” These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
