Abstract

[In the school environment the position of CM presents a power position, and the rest of the mothers in the school are aware of the situation. CMs gain this power by means of a variety of capitals. For example they have the emotional capital which is a variation of social capital; briefly a gendered knowledge. Emotional capital they have involves contacts, relations and access to emotionally valued skills and assets as well as the knowledge (Nowotny, 1981). This is what makes them ‘the mother’. By having this capital, they have a potential access to the position of classroom motherhood.]
