- Abstract:
The article focuses on how gendered assumptions about families and markets pervade discussions about school choice, particularly those about homeschooling. As the following quotation captures through allegory, gendered images of families and society are implicit in the conceptual language of some approaches to choice programming. In the seventies, the latter abandoned his mate and kidnapped their offspring but, somehow, could never raise the baby on his own. Gender pervasively underlies the history and present-day contours of parent-school relations and school-choice policies in the United States and Great Britain.
