Public parental choice schools in Greece: identity, social synthesis, public and private discourse

Summary:

Τhe present work is a policy ethnography of the public schools of parental choice in Greece, that is, of those schools chosen by parents and guardians and are different from those that would be expected based on their place of residence. These schools can be “Model”, “Experimental”, “Model-Experimental”, “Music”, “Artistic”, “Ecclesiastical”, etc. By “political ethnography” we mean a set of research methodologies that take a multifaceted approach to the latent, indefinable and volatile “culture” of these schools in Greece (as a whole, but also as different examples). Policy ethnography is being crafted through the analysis of public and private discourse, behaviors, expectations and shared experiences. A guide to describing the culture of parental choice in the present work is the schema of American sociologist James Coleman, which links macro-level, that is the regulatory texts and public discourse, to the micro-level, that is family strategies. Statistical analysis of the professional status of parents and guardians (ΙSCO 08 scale of the Hellenic Statistical Authority and Chicago’s University Measuring Occupational Prestige on the 2012 General Social Survey scale) showed that the parents who consciously choose the schools under research in majority belong to the middle class with middle and high social status and high level of education. The analysis of published texts and public discourse concerning the Model, Experimental and Model Experimental schools has showed that the notion of “excellency” was not only central, but also controversial in a way that the introductory exams and even the existence of the specific schools was in dispute. On the other hand, there is no dispute about the necessity of Music and Art Schools. Nevertheless, they face lack of central support. The “Ecclesiastical” tend to diminish waiting for a new set of laws to upgrade them, with the Rizareios Ecclesiastical in Athens moving on its own adopting elit schools’ strategies. The analysis of phenomenographic interviews has showed that the parents who consciously choose the under research schools are though recognizing their problems, very active, interfering, supportive, and feeling an optimistic habitus. In conclusion, we realize that in our central educational system there is small room for choosing a school other than the assigned Comprehensive School in the district, with different “alibi”, such as “experimenting”, “excellency”, “talent”, “faith”, which in reality depict the need of middle class parents, who choose them as public elites, for a good public school providing security for their children’s social advance.
