“…In contrast to Nadja’s and Tim’s school careers are Kevin’s and René’s educational biographies. After kindergarten, Kevin Ottnitschke, the son of a middle-class construction company owner and the manager of a bar, first attended the rural elementary school in his hometown (for a detailed account, see Zschach, 2008a). That Kevin’s parents have no higher ambitions for him that might be realized via education is apparent from their choice of a secondary school for their son.…”

“…At the same time, a strong economic orientation at home leads the boy especially to appreciate life-worldly knowledge, which he learns mostly playing in the natural outdoors and travelling abroad with his parents. Vis-a-vis these activities, school is rather unappreciated (Zschach, 2008a: 143). As he wished to pursue a career in professional soccer, his athletic achievements are more important to him than his school achievements.…”

The article presents selected results of a reconstructive study on the significance of the peer group for children’s educational biography. Based on the analysis of qualitative interviews and group discussions with c. 11-year-old children from different educational milieus in Germany it is first shown how, in general, groups of friends in different social contexts exert influence on the children’s school careers. In a second part, the text pursues the question of how children produce social inequality themselves, what processes of distinction they practise and on the basis of which traits and criteria. Thereby the study demonstrates that internal and external distinction practices refer to entirely different concepts of achievement.
