Sch.17 Summary of two interviews with a married couple regarding the education of their children at a non fee-paying local authority school, female interviewer, 1962

Male INTVEE is from Leith and works as a dock labourer, he goes to his mother's for lunch every day. He is quoted as saying, "I am never a good talker. I'm a good listener but working in the docks your mind gets lazy". He thinks it is useless to be too strict in school and is quoted as saying, "too much discipline undermines their mentality and makes them nervous". There is mention of an Ainslie Park school trip to the Baltic ports. INTVEEs eldest daughter left Ainslie Park at 15 and now works, although parents think she would like to go back. Male INTVEE is quoted as saying, "If I was a man with a good income and a good job - he looks for more out of his family. Me, I'm just a working man and I live from day to day. If you've been given more in your own childhood, encouragement and knowledge you're given more interest and you expect more from your children and you look for more".
