RESUMO

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the family cultural inheritance on the children educational development, based on a study case in a private kindergarten school. The theoretical interest of such an empirical research on this subject is attested by the fact that, according to Pierre Bourdieu, the valorisation and comprehension of the school are quite common in the families that have a higher educational level and that, consequently, begin to establish the school trajectory since the early years of the children. In this sense, when we analyse the parents of students of a private school we are in fact analysing the expectations of the families of the middle class. Based on some basic ideas about the connection between cultural inheritance and educational strategies presented by Bourdieu we assumed the hypothesis that different social categories are unevenly predisposed to comprehend and valorisate the school education as a whole and that this fact is straightly related with the family cultural inheritance. According to Pierre Bourdieu it is the ammount of inheritance (economic, social, and cultural) of the person that will determine his position in the social hierarchy, as well as his expectations about the school. We observe then, that the culture acts as an inheritance of class differentiation.(AU)
