This article looks at gender inequality in specific help projects for students. In French city suburbs, children are offered to get some extra homework help. These projects are implemented by associations in order to help students who need to be explained how to learn and do their homework. Based on an ethnographic approach, this research tried to determine how children appropriate themselves this help. First results indicate that children have a “dual use” of homework help projects. The first use is about homework, but there is another use for girls who have to learn parental duties, such as taking care of their brothers and sisters so that boys don’t have to worry about that. Children are also free to attend one or the other of the projects usually implemented in their districts, and the data show that they see this help as any other playgrounds in their environment. However, the way the children disseminate in the projects fits the different specializations of the projects. Boys are actually attending mathematics projects and girls’ literature projects. So we can say that children have a gendered use of homework help projects, that reflects their education in our society.
