10、dren into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they de

11、al with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations and more with their childrens outward conformity.
