The Intensifying Parental Involvement in Middle School
Based on the data of the China Education Panel Survey(CEPS),this paper examines the impact of class atmosphere on parents'educational investment.The analysis reveals that the class expectation atmosphere and the investment atmosphere serve as catalysts for parents to increase their academic-oriented educational investment,with the latter exerting a more pronounced effect.Notably,the influence of these atmospheres remains consistent across varying degrees of social integration and strata,underscoring the pervasive nature of parental involution in contemporary Chinese society.Conversely,mothers are more susceptible to these atmospheres,highlighting their intense focus on their children's education.This paper provides a micro-level explanation for the increasing educational investments and elucidates the issue of educational involution in contemporary China from the perspective of parents.
