The main purpose with this study is to make the modified parenting visible in relation to the school over time. How have the views of parenting and support, by the pedagogues and the parents, earlier been interpreted and how is it today? The results of the interviews, which were more like an everyday dialogue, were analyzed through a phenomenological effort with a hermeneutist method interpretation. The theory connection has mainly consisted of relevant terms for this study.

I have come to the conclusion that parents today feel that they have an extended responsibility when it comes their own children’s knowledge. The reason for this is something they already knew and has now been enforced when Skolverket (2009, a) has produced a report which enlightens this and it has been written about in the media.  Some were concerned and felt a lack of competence and time to be able to live up to and take on the increased responsibility. One person emphasized that the school demands parent’s commitment and questioned the school with the mission which has been imposed on them, in case it wasn’t their mission which had been imposed on the parents instead.
