Empirical studies on educational inequality have repeatedly reported on the extent and persistence of class differences in educational attainment. Although such research on educational inequality is undoubtedly valuable, these reports unintentionally strengthen the view that educational success depends on the formation of academic ability and the acquisition of higher educational credentials. The purpose of education, however, is not only to help individuals achieve the above mentioned successes, but to instill members of society with publicness. In today’s society where the individualistic pursuit of educational success has become dominant, under what conditions can people have public value orientations? In order to explore the research interests discussed above, we conducted a survey of mothers of elementary and junior high school students. The reason for selecting these subjects is that they themselves are members of modern society mentioned above, and at the same time, they educate their children at home. Using these data, we investigated the relationship between their private and public value orientations and the features of their personal network.The main findings are that (1) public value orientations are positively correlated with positive networks that are supportive or provide role models and a place of comfort, and (2) private value orientations are positively correlated with negative networks in which people compete, compare themselves with others, and engage in peer pressure.
