The (Re) production of Social Reports on Sex: What Is the Place the Educational Institution?

In the reproduction of gendered social links, does school play a role comparable to the one it plays in the reproduction of social inequalities? After reasserting the crucial impact of parental educational practices, we will analyze the various potential influences of school. A number of mechanisms discovered through the analysis of the reproduction of social classes at and by the schooling system prove inefficient here. Indeed, it is much rather the passivity of the institution, facing its pupils and situations marked by gendered models, that appears to be essential. This does not answer the question of legitimization of gender inequalities when school cannot provide one.
