An analysis of parent/teacher relations in primary schools

Abstract

This paper analyses the kind of contracts that parents have with teachers in Primary Schools. The interactions are sometimes surprising and questions are raised about the best use of time and the best or most appropriate means of communication. The complex relations between parents and teachers are related to the literature.
