“…Little in-depth research into parents' primary school choice strategies exists in Germany, with the few existing studies focusing mainly on a different institutional context -federal states in which catchment areas still exist (see Breidenstein et al, 2014;Kru¨ger, 2014;Noreisch, 2007a). In this context, some parents try to illegally circumvent the catchment areas, while others justify the 'acceptance' of the local school with their egalitarian ideals and the credence of existent rules (Noreisch, 2007a).…”

Choice as a duty? The abolition of primary school catchment areas in North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany and its impact on parent choice strategies

In 2008, primary school catchment areas were abolished in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW)/Germany. Written several years later, this article’s main aim is to provide insights into the impact of the policy reform on parent choice practices and subsequently on educational segregation. Based on a mixed-methods approach, it seeks to understand how being raised in and accustomed to a catchment area system affects parents’ understanding of the policy reform and impacts their choice strategies. We demonstrate that the (socially selective) choice of a school outside the former catchment area increased significantly after 2008, leading to a higher level of school segregation, though affecting schools to very different extents. The study clearly reveals that the differences in choice strategies are shaped by the dissimilar conclusions parents from different educational backgrounds draw from the policy reform. While less-educated parents attribute less significance to this early stage of schooling, many well-educated ones interpret the introduction of free choice as an instigation to choose – a perception triggered and intensified by the policy reform. For them, choice is no longer only perceived as an opportunity; through its formalisation it rather seems to become a duty. Thus, by one-sidedly favouring well-educated parents’ interests and benefiting their abilities to play the game, the reform seems to perpetuate existing inequalities in choice rather than to alleviate them.

“…In vielen Bundesländern in Deutschland wurde ein unterschiedlich weitgehendes Elternwahlrecht für die inklusive Schule gesetzlich verankert: das heißt, dass sich Eltern von Kindern mit Bedarf an sonderpädagogischer Unterstützung -solange Förderschulsystem und inklusive Schule nebeneinander existieren -für die eine oder andere Schule entscheiden können. Die Entscheidungen dieser Eltern zwischen inklusiver Regel-und Förderschule sind dabei ein bislang erst explorativ untersuchtes Feld (Klipcera 2005;Klipcera 2007;Dorrance 2010;Müller 2013).…”

“…School choice research abundantly makes this point (Ball & Nikita 2014; Breidenstein et al . 2014; Lareau & Goyette 2014). It investigates how parents assess and selects or circumvent the instrumental and expressive orders of specific schools (Bernstein 1977 cited in Vowden 2012, also Kosunen 2014) while searching for a ‘good mix’ (Vowden 2012).…”

Mothering, Habitus and Habitat: The Role of Mothering as Moral Geography for the Inequality Impasse in Urban Education

Following Bourdieu, residential location as habitat may provide spatial profit when it matches with a habitus – but how? How can we conceptualize situations of mismatch between habitat and habitus, and what may they mean for urban inequalities? This article explores this topic through the lens of mothering practices in elementary schools. Qualitative interviews in two neighbourhoods in Berlin, Germany, suggest how moral geographies at intersections of class and race/ethnicity structure parents' opportunities to organize resources for children in their specific spatial contexts. It argues that mothering practices can help us see not just that, but how habitus and habitat are related. Empirically, it suggests that the moral geographies in which these schools are embedded reinforce the exclusionary consequences of their institutional practices. I theorize that the moral geographies of neighbourhoods as sites of mothering practices vis‐à‐vis the class‐based state logics in institutions may contribute to an urban impasse of educational inequality.
