Abstract
A wide gap has opened between teachers’ Protestant Ethic‐type notions of work, and pupils’ own perceptions of work. Pupils resist socialization into an antiquated model which is losing structural support in society at large, and about which teachers themselves are rather ambivalent, and are not always moved by the thought of personal gain. They are, however, deeply influenced by the status of the work and the personal qualities of the teacher. For them, work is relationships.
