Is It a Case of "We Know When We're Not Wanted?" The Parents' Perspective on Parent-Teacher Roles and Relationships.

Crozier, Gill

Educational Research, v41 n3 p315-28 Win 1999

Interviews with 58 parents (71% working class) and 15 teachers in a British secondary school suggested that working-class parents were committed to children's education but view school as separate from their everyday culture. Parents and teachers viewed their roles as a division of labor, reinforcing parents' view of teachers as professional authorities. (SK)
