Barrett DeWiele, Corinne E.; Edgerton, Jason D. – Interchange: A Quarterly Review of Education, 2016
In this paper, we revisit Brown's ("Br J Soc Educ" 14: 65-85, 1990) concept of "parentocracy" which has been informatively applied in educational research in a number of studies in various countries internationally--but almost none in North America. We provide an expanded conceptualization of parentocracy and suggest that it…
