An Alternative Education to Find Your Class Back?

An Alternative Education to Find Your Class Back? - 2022.

Based on the study of the Centre expérimental pédagogique maritime en Oléron (CEPMO), created in 1982, this paper aims at focusing on the mechanisms governing students and their families choices for an “alternative” educational establishment. By reinserting the question of school choices in the student’s social and school trajectories, the survey shows that for many students this orientation is mainly explained by reclassement strategies. Originally from the cultural fraction of petty bourgeoisie, these high school students paradoxically demonstrate tumultuous school trajectories (several repetitions, orientation towards vocational education, etc.) hindering their aspirations to higher education. The establishment is thus less chosen for its “alternative” pedagogy than for the possibility it gives of reintegrating general education, once other solutions have been exhausted (private education, change of institution, etc.). We also show that for some students, the CEPMO makes it possible to update dispositions inherited from a liberal socialisation that is sometimes at odds with the “traditional” system.
