This article addresses the meaning of schooling for Mexican working-class families. In my ethnographic research I analyzed narratives of the life courses and school experiences of ten families. I describe one cultural model involved in their relationship with schooling, which I call "family support for individual effort. "Parents emphasize "family support" and, at the same time, encourage individual personality traits in their children. The young men and women take their parents' support for granted while feeling responsible for their own actions and decisions concerning school. The narratives suggest that individuals can construct diverse experiences with schooling on the basis of the same cultural model
