I have a parents association and most of them are involved in the school life and the school board decisions. However, there are enough indifferent parents and parents who prefer to comment against the way education is provided.

Too much work at school in this time so couldn't follow the live webinar but the topic is very interesting.

Some parents have verbal and physical violent behaviors with teachers and school leadership. We do not have enough levers to stop these behaviors. Teachers are evaluated psychologically. And answer disciplinary or criminal for their deeds. Why with parents does not happen the same? What solutions do you have for them to bear consequences when they behave inappropriately?

# data[].attributes.body
The partecipation of the parents is essential at school. They are represented inside the" consiglio d'istituto" by a family member elected and in "the consiglio di classe".
The problem is the lack of partecipation of families at meetings

I think that the problems of Italian schools are the same as the schools in most European countries.

I rilievi sono attuali e utili.
Ho avuto modo di apprezzare il sito dell' EPA , riflettendo sui vari documenti presenti,  la Convenzione dei diritti dei bambini ( art. 1-54 ), il Decalogo con i dieci punti essenziali dei diritti dei bambini e ragazzi, il Manifesto del 2015, Cyberbullismo e Social Networs di grossa attualitàPersonalmente lavoro in un liceo con ragazzi dai 14 ai 18 anni e mi rendo conto che la collaborazione propositiva tra genitori, docenti e figure apicali presenti nella scuola è fondamentale per il successo scolastico e la formazione ed educazione degli allievi.Ma non tutti i genitori seguono i propri figli nella crescita umana e nello studio.

I AM SO SORRY I HAD TECHICAL PROBLEMS

I was lucky and i could participate in the event. It was very interesting, but sometimes i felt strangeness seeing that presence of parents on school is so extensive.  My question is:  i can understand that parents must be part of school and that we must pay attention to what they think...but is that done with loss of autonomy of teachers?

# data[].attributes.body
Parents are not willing to contribute to our school life because they are too busy with their work life and believe their students to be nearly adults and independent people, which sometimes feels frustrating.

I would like to know from Mrs Eszter any suggestion on how we successfully can involve parents in the ordinary school life of their kids especially when they miss all the meetings and seem to neglect the importance of collaborating with the school to achieve better results for their kids.

I would like to ask how to involve parents in school in the perspective of collaborators in the educational process of their children. It seems parents have forgotten they were students.

I see that the problems that the Italian schools have with them are many European schools.

In my school have been implemented projects with directly parents involvement . These projects had family - type activities. After that more parents was interested to help and be involved in other school activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to ask how we could more closely involve the parents of the children in the big classes to get involved in the school life, because if there is a large number of small classes, the large classes still have a very small number of parents participating with us at various activities.

How should the close child-teacher-teacher relationship be assessed?

The webnair was very interesting. A school needs active and collaborative parenting. We teachers work, engage and sacrifice for the benefit of not just one group but all the pupils because the ultimate goal of education is to bring everyone to achieve formative success. But teachers are not superheroes, they can do it all. Without the help of parents, a very important slice of the educational pact is missing

Parents' contact with school is very limited, especially when students go to gymnasium or high school, parents coming to school only in exceptional situations and by doing so grasping negative situations.
How can we find ways to involve parents as their children grow up? What could schoolmasters or school counselors do?

# data[].attributes.body
Just because schools sre open systems towards society, parents find a way of socializing around school and project a number of attitudes. Some of them even project the problems they seem to have outside school and actually make school life disfunctional. Another problem with some parents in my coumtry seem to be that pupils of primary education often become eavesdroppers for matters parents talk about teachers, as a result they sometimes mistrust teachers or simply feel confused about them.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school there are two types of Parents: those who come too many times to school, many of them without a special reason and those who never come to school, even if they are called to come for various reasons, including bad behavior or bad school's results of their children. And no, this is not a question of "don't having time to go to school".
What can be said about this subject?

# data[].attributes.body
As my portuguese collegues had said, is very difficult to bring the parents to school. Even the parents who are more evolved in the education process of their sons have difficulty to participate in school activities and school in general. We cannot forget  that they work, and when they arrived to school is very late. In opposite, it´s cruel made the teachers wait for the parents. Of course, we have the other side, the dark side, parents who leave the students in the school just to have someone to take care of them. It´s not political correct, but it´s the true. For these parents it´s very difficult to promote a better relation with the school, to promote and engage is almost an impossibility.

Never the less, it´s important that parents participate in everything in school process. I wish to know to promote that, not as head teacher, but as a teacher.

If you happen to teach in a very low socio-economic school, families are just not involved no matter what you do. Any suggestions?

la collaborazione scuola-famiglia,il più delle volte è inesistente,parlo ovviamente per esperienza personale e non.
I genitori considerano il mio ordine di scuola,ossia la scuola dell'infanzia,come un parcheggio dove portare i propri figli,senza tenere conto della professionalità delle insegnanti.
Sono rari i genitori che considerano SERIAMENTE la figura professionale dell'
insegnante del proprio figlio!

Schools should be promoters of policies / strategies that promote the greater approximation of families to school. Parents can be involved in different ways and it is up to the school to provide a variety of arrangements for parental involvement in school. Joyce Epstein (1991, 1996) promoted a typology of modalities of parental involvement in school, which can be useful as an instrument for reflection-action in schools. It is important to find out to what extent the school provides involvement in each modality and to reflect whether these are in accordance with the needs of the school and the families.

Could you give concrete practices at schools who are engaging parents instead of only involving them? Can you describe any successful methods/strategies to invite/motivate parents to get more engaged in their children’s learning environment at school and to participate in the Parents Council?
In order to enhance the engagement of the parents, we would like to start a discourse in the Parents Council, based on the continuum of engagement possibilities and the convention of the children’s rights next school year. Are there any tools we can use to facilitate/support these discussions?

in greek primry school parents are involved in the school reality and every day life. i must explain how though. i do not mean that they co decide curriculum and teaching methods. but many times come to school to ask for he teaching progress and behavior of their children or they come after a school call to make a conversation for behavior matters. the context of the relationship betwenn school and parents differ a lot and mostly depends of the policy of the headmaster/leader of the school

In our  Pre Primary and Primary school parents are quite often involved in  special events; as experts in some subject areas , supporting students work;  as heper in lab activities and so on. Moreover some representive of the parents  take part in  official school meetings and have decisional roles.   Anyway  sometimes we have to deal with  difficult parents and I'm really interested in Prof. Salamon tips. It's  a challenging topic and it would be great to find the way to effectively  collaborate with them.
Moreover how can we help the integration of parents with different ethnic values and habits? Thanks in advance!

In my schools we have parents of two kinds: those who come at school very often and sometimes without reason but only for asking about the progress of their children, and those parents that never come to school even if we call them repeatedly. My experience with parents is usually great with a very good cooperation. The approach with some parents, in my case the gipsy community, has not been easy, but fortunately it has been sucefull.
Question to I would like to ask Eszter Salamon if "positive discrimination" by the teachers towards some students and parents, like the etnic values and behaviours, is a right or wrong strategy?

In senior high school parents are very rarely involved. Some of them visit us one or two weeks before we deliver their children' s marks. A few of them show genuine interest in the school's affairs. The vast majority  will visit us twice a year.  The parents association is active and we have a close and sincere cooperation resultin in some improvements in school life
We would appreciate ideas on how to involve more actively more parents

Hi Eszter,
I am very interested in the concept mentioned in the introduction which speaks about "engaging rather than involving " parents. Could you explain this idea in more depth? Thank you in advance.

In my schools we have parents of two rates: those who come at scool very often and with no reason but only for asking about the progress of their children, and those who never come to ask even if we call them. There are many parents with whom we have a very good cooperation and they really care about school and education and they do everything they can to help. I hope theese parents to became as the time passes more and more...

In my school most of parents who has enough money feel free not to meet a teacher to ask questions directly but visit the Principal first to show in such a way their superiority diminishing the role of a teacher at school by showing no respect, low level of culture and no interest to listen. How to build a constructive conversation with such parents? Thank you in advance

In my school our major problem with parents is that they do not visit school. Even when there are critical issues they are absent. And when things goes wrong they accuse us for not taking action. Great;

# data[].attributes.body
My school faces many problems. One of them and the worst is school dropout. The main cause of the phenomenon of absenteeism and school dropout is the mistaken perception among the community of the role of education, which makes pupils often used in field work or care for smaller breeds. Facing this issue, a project is being developed in partnership with UNICEF to prevent this phenomenon. However, it is still difficult to help parents to realize the importance of education for their children.

My question is: how do we deal with superficial parents who condemn their children to a life without education, most of the time?
Thank you!

If you decide to let parents take a more important role in school, how do you make sure that you don't just get onesided opinions? Or in other words: How do you make sure all parents are heard?
