Family-school collaboration in child education

Abstract

The relationships between family and school in child education were analyzed focusing in three main topics: the mutual expectations of family and school about their respective responsabilities in children’s education, the specific contribution of the family to school achievement, and the family-school collaboration in ihe resolution of behaviour disorders. Finally, the problem of discipline at home and at school is reviewed, and we present some guidelines for facilitating the joint planning of basic rules for establishing organization and control in child behaviour.
