Abstract
School letters to parents are texts wherein home-school relationships are written into being. By looking at pronoun use in two particular school letters it is shown that the private, everyday world of homes is institutionally ordered in terms of 'what the world is or should be like', according to public, school agenda. Analysis of such texts shows how parent-teacher relationships enter into the relations of ruling of the larger extra-local of which they are a part. (Smith, 1987, 1990a).
