To follow up on research conducted in several countries, in this paper, we look at the dilemmas middle-class parents face of being “good parents” by choosing the “best” school with a milieu-related environment for their child versus being “good citizens” by choosing a “local” public school with a large proportion of students from a working-class or migrant background. Analysing semi-structured interviews with parents, the paper explores whether and how parents in Germany’s capital city of Berlin refer to this dilemma concerning primary school choice and how they resolve it and justify their decision. The parents interviewed applied strategies in deciding to be “good parents” or “good citizens” or at least to make it easier to solve the dilemma. All the strategies presented in other studies can be found in our sample as well. In addition, we identified two more parental strategies: the strategy of downward comparison and the strategy of choosing a private school. It is notable that the perceived proportion of children with a migrant background in the neighbourhood played a major role in relation to the dilemma and the strategies chosen.

This study aims to examine in detail the ethical dilemmas faced by private school teachers. The study employed a phenomenological research design. The study group comprised 15 teachers working at private schools in a province located in the south-eastern region of Turkey in the 2020-2021 academic years, who were determined by the maximum variation sampling method. A semi-structured interview form was used as the data collection instrument. Collected data were subjected to phenomenological analysis. According to the findings, ethical dilemmas faced by private school teachers can be categorized under the themes of “parents,” “students,” “school administration,” and “co-workers.” Ethical dilemmas in private schools have been found to differ in some aspects from those in public schools. Also, it was observed that teachers dealt with ethical dilemmas under the fear of losing their jobs. The results are discussed in the context of professional and workplace problems faced by private school teachers, and recommendations are presented accordingly.
