The Communication Between Schools And Families From The Perspective Of Parents Of High School Students

The paper deal with the quality of the cooperation between families and school. The aim of the research was to find out how parents evaluate the cooperation between them and a school and how they see their children are prepared for the further studies. Method: non-standardized questionnaire, research sample: (N= 176) the parents of children aged 10 to 15 years, parents age from 30 to 57. Partial results show that mothers feel to be more informed then fathers and mothers are more aware of the child's satisfaction in school. Furthermore, it has been proved that even older the child is, even worse evaluation the parents give to the level of its education. Parents of girls are significantly more persuaded that school prepares them better for further studies. The worse assessment children have, the lower parental satisfaction with the education is and these parents also think that their child is not properly prepared for future studies. Thereafter are commented in the paper expectations of parents and their requirements toward the school. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
