Abstract

Why somee parents prefer private school for their children? What has private school to make some parents view it in a different way than public school? In this paper we have attempted to make an exploratory research in order to have a good approach to possiblc answers to these questions. At the same time, our research has made possible to us to note somee changes that are going on in last years in Spain regarding the choices between public and private school. At a fírst stage, we show how two diferent kinds of arguments arise to justify the option for private education. On the one hand, we meet ideological justificatíons. On the other hand. we have what may be considered as "class" -arguments. Nevertheless, our analysis led us to the conclusion that reasons that take parents to choose a definite kind of educatíon are much more complex than those.
