Parents of 116 first-year pupils at an urban comprehensive school were studied by questionnaire and interview. They were asked about their educational and occupational aspirations for their children, their views on sexual equality and their children's out-of-school activities. Educational aspirations were found to be high, with little differentiation between the sexes. Parents were enthusiastic about their daughters studying physical science and neutral about craft subjects. Occupational aspirations were also high and although they tended to be sex-stereotyped, parents were found to be generally supportive of non-traditional choices. Class differences were few. Most parents were in favour of working mothers, equal pay and men helping with housework. However these egalitarian attitudes coexisted with more traditional assumptions about male breadwinners and a woman's main responsibility being to her children. Parents' own domestic labour and that which they required of their children was strongly sex-stereotyped. The messages which children receive about gender from their homes are contradictory, but not as uniformly traditional as many teachers assume. |
