Abstract | Relations between family and school have become quite problematic for several decades, owing to the complex tensions concerning the specific inner characters of both contexts where an increasing sense of inadequacy, as to the recent educational challenges set by the new generations, is experienced. Neither of these two institutions is able to separately achieve results in terms of quantity and quality. The consequence is the definition of a cooperation/collaboration between parents and school as a work relation characterized by common targets, mutual respect and tendency to negotiate. In order to re-establish a “pact” between school and family towards a proper care, the achievement of a joint responsibility involves the need for educational policies capable of providing a continuity of the socializable paths, thus allowing the individuals involved to find out an identity of shared values in the respect of the differences. |
