Abstract- 

The discourse of parental choice, voice and exit have brought parents to the centre of discussions on schooling yet little is known about the ways in which families relate to and engage with schools. This paper seeks to deconstruct the notion of parenting in relation to school and discusses the nature of mothering in the context of a changing north Indian Town. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted for the doctoral research work. It has focused on a social group that has recently gained momentum for social mobility have traditionally been socio-economically marginalised.
