Acquaintance Help and Mutual Assistance:The Geographical Logic of Parental Involvement in Education in Rural Counties
The growing parentalism and widespread educational anxiety have forced social relationships to become an important reserve force for parental involvement in education.In counties with relatively weak educational resources,parents who lack familial ties due to the absence of kinship bonds tend to lack a shared social memory,leading to emotional alienation and weak trust among parents.This situation obstructs the flow and sharing of educational information.Within local communities,familial ties form the core of the network,and secondary relationships such as friendships and academic connections extend outward,creating a"kinship support,friendship networking"system that helps to share scarce resources.Newcomers to rural county towns integrate into the parental relationship network through neighborly connections,which boosts their level of educational involvement and provides greater social support.In the context of a growing emphasis on the family as the core unit,the solution to the pressures of child-rearing in rural counties cannot be confined to the existing familiar educational networks.It must also adapt to the transformation of rural society from a semi-familiar to a stranger society.This involves combining village kinship ties with county-level geographic ties to form a social support network for parents that encourages communication,sharing,and collaborative participation,thus constructing a more open and cooperative educational community within rural counties.
