In post-war studies of the family, very few focuses on the educational function of this social unit. Recent studies, as well, appear to show very little interest in the socializing function of the family unit or the parent-child relationship. Japan, however, is termed a “school career based society” and in households with pre-adolescent and adolescent children, their education is of major concern. This not only costs a lot in education expenses but affects the lives and lifestyles of the entire family. In this paper, I wish to trace the historical change in the development of the “family that educates”, a phenomenon that arose in the 1910s, and examine the various inherent problems from the standpoint of family sociology, based on an understanding of the present conditions of such families. I will focus on the problems of 1) the sole responsibility of bringing up and educating the child resting with the parents, 2) popularizing and increasing differences of “families that educate”, and 3) their support of an unequal society.
