Family-school partnerships are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at a school.
Being overly involved can lead to stepping in too frequently to deal with issues the child should handle. Also, not all teachers are comfortable with a parent volunteer in class. Some students are too distracted by the presence of their parents, which can cause a lack of focus or behavior problems. -
Family-school connections are collaborative relations and projects involving the school staff and parents. One of the roles that parent’s engagement plays is that the parents help the education of their children to improve, not to mention that the student is extremely happier while studying, knowing that his parents work hard to help him have a good education and a good future. Plus, the student wins more self-confidence and self-esteem, which helps him build his personality step by step. The teacher’s role in this relationship is to prepare the student for future life situations. For instance math, math will support the student when he grows up, he could think that money is the most essential thing in life, even if it isn’t, and when he gets it, he doesn’t even know how to count it correctly. So in brief, if establishments and parents collaborate this will highly improve the children’s education and the quality of their future life.

School-family partnership has a prerequisite role to ameliorate children’s level.
Actually I view school partnership as a viable and essential way to increase the opportunities and supports for all students to enhance their learning progress and meet the recent demands of schooling.Moreover family-school and community partnerships are an effective way to support and empower positive parent engagement, and bring together family and community resources to enrich student learning and wellbeing.
Nevertheless,be around their children all day long. This can be difficult when children become restless and misbehave
Frequently explain their reasons for homeschooling their children to friends and relatives unsympathetic or confused about their decision in addition to rsstrain anger and remain patient when children struggle with learning, for those reasons parents hesitate to be a member of school partnership…
To conclude school family partnership can evolve the society and ameliorate next generations . -
Aymane Belfadil says:
No one can deny that school-family partnership are crutial for the benefit of the child, but while in some countries we don’t consider it at all like Morocco. So what are the opportunities and the setbacks of school-family partnership? Families are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards. Schools have an important responsibility in helping to nurture and teach future generations and families trust schools to provide educational foundations for their children’s future. At the same time, schools need to recognise the primary role of the family in education. This is why it is important for families and schools to work together in partnership. And when parents and teachers team up, they will impact positivity on the student and he will thrive.In addition to that, the more parents are involved in their children’s education, the better their entire class’s motivation, behavior, and grades becom. Parents and teachers must develop opportunities for two-way communication, through which learning is the key goal. Both must take responsibility to develop positive outcomes for children. Successful parent involvement means mutual participation by families and teachers. But unfortunately, some parents think that teachers are the main educator forgetting their role us parent because we need 3 leg to support a table we need a student, a teacher and parent so if the parent doesn’t do their job, the table gets destroyed, so it’s about the mentality i guess. Like the quote goes:”The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet”.
And finally,the success of the student it’s not reliant it only to him but for sure also the parents and teachers have a big part on this. -
It is uncontestable that school family partnership is very important and essenciel for the development of kid. In point of fact,most of parents in different countries don’t care of that. So,the question that we may ask:What are the opportunities and setbacks?.
Well,family involvment is the first school of children that motivate every kid to success. Moreover, alone we can do so little,together we can do so much. That’s why shools and families should be one hand and partnership in order to build strong,successful generations. As the quote goes:”Together may we give out childrens the roots to grow and the wings to fly.” Furthermore,if schools and families team up, that will impact posivity in the student and this latter will thrive.
Added to that,kid,family and school are three branches. If one of them is absent. The balance will be disturbed . Since the components of the state, we are in need of people, the authority and the land to have a state. Lastly and more importantly,the advance of kids needs the involvment of parents. The school family partnership is a treasure. -

Family-school partnerships are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at a school. Effective partnerships are based on mutual trust and respect, and shared responsibility for the education of the children and young people at the school.

Schools have an important responsibility in helping to nurture and teach future generations and families trust schools to provide educational foundations for their children’s future. At the same time, schools need to recognise the primary role of the family in education. This is why it is important for families and schools to work together in partnership. This is the working together between parents, families and teachers of students with the community to ensure educational success of the students. Teachers and schools encourage this by taking part in community activities as members of the community and, thus, being able to interact with families and parents discussing the ways of overcoming challenges in education.

Schools partnership is pre-requisite if we intented to prepare students for a better future . Actually , parent’s involvement becomes so important , because It motivates the children to go to school and learn easlily , also they will be more confident . So the parents should their children to improve themselves , and build their personality , encourage and take care of them because they are the main responsibles of their children . But there is a big problem which should be solved , the majority of the parents works and cannot participate on those activities , that’s why we don’t find parents next to their kids
Moreover, parents and schools and academics are not interested about those activities , the parents specially in private schools, thinks that It is a waste of time , and the schools don’t try to create any type of activities
We conclude that, education start at home from the parents and family , no one will influence the children like the parents . So schools parents and schools are partner to help the kids . -

Engaged families and schools ameliorate the academic, social and emotional development of a child. Regrettably, educators report that the most serious challenge encountered is establishing relationships with families. The question here is, what are the setbacks and opportunities of a family-teachers good partnership ?
First of, children with engaged parents are more likely to be earn higher grades. In fact, if the child family exchange with his teachers about the student weaknesses and strengths, they will be able to work with him about it. The researches have proved that 94% of the students who revise their courses at home with their parents are more likely to have better marks. In brief, parents are teachers at home at the end of the day.
Second of all, children develop self confidence and motivation. In point of fact, when they are accompanied by their parents during their school year they feel more comfortable and become more open. For example, when parents inculcate to their children that making mistakes is okay, that sometimes it’s a good thing to make some in order to improve yourself, they won’t be scared anymore. In short, a student confidence is based on what his family taught him and where he grew.
Finally, kids who live in a good environment have better social skills. In fact, an educated child have better behaviors in class. Let’s take as an example, a kid who isn’t able to stay concentrated in class for more than half an hour, that child will struggle a lot to be productive. Briefly, giving his child a good education is primordial.
In conclusion, school-family partnership can be considered as the key of a successful and productive student.-
children with engaged parents are more likely to earn*

But in some countries parents and teachers aren’t collaborative to develop the student’s level as we see that the school organise a conference to make a way that the teachers can meet but the parents keep having reasons to not come and they are careless if their children are good in their studies or not. To conclude if a country want to be progressed in the education parents and teachers partnership is the best way to do it -
Khalid ouaj says:
currently in this ultra-connected world, all systems boost their mechanisms as much as possible to reach the most competitive level of efficiency . the schools in turn through the partnership try to optimize their efficiency by applying the student’s parents to collaborate in activities which contribute to increasece the cognitiv student’s level.
Often this partnership creates a very positive communication atmosphere. the serious parental involvement in partnering with their children’s schools often leads to a remarquable progress of results , that means that the partenarship represents a double chance for success.
Unfortunately nothing is easy, the partnership faces a variety of obstacles on both sides : ignorance, luck of the time , complexity of the social and psychological situation among parents and the lack of budgets , vision , strategy and sometimes even the lack of détermination and involvement among the heads of schools …
Education remains pre-requisit for the development of the humanity and partnership is one of the new tools of success -
the school-family partnership is extremely essential for the benefit of children indeed, the family has an enormous role in the education of the child, education in the family begins at a particularly young age it begins with communication to build a relationship between parents and children Although as the child grows up to become a teenager, communication between parents and teenager is not present for many reasons. Parents are teachers, guides, leaders, protectors, and providers for children and powerful role models for them on top of that, a child educated only in school is an uneducated child that is why parent and school collaboration is primary, unity is strength when there is teamwork and collaboration wonderful things can be achieved. Additionally, there are many reasons why parents often reject parent-school collaboration, and one of the reasons is lack of involvement and embarrassment. Parents may be unable to speak the language or be illiterate. This could make contact difficult and impossible and also memories of parental failure in school are another cause for shame.
Parental involvement is essential for student development and offers many benefits. It helps in improving students behavior in the classroom. -
Khalil Margoum says:
The family involvement in schools is highly beneficial . In point of fact it firmly connectes the three pillars ( Family ,Educator , Student) and builds a thriving educational system . So, the question is what are the opportunities and the setbacks of school-family partnership?
Family-school partnership , provides numbers of chances to immerce both parent and educators in the process of the students learning. Actually the research has always demonstrates the positive effects of family-school collaboration on children’s academic behavioral , and social develpment . According to { Christenson 2003& Sheridan 2001 } , ” Family-school collaboration can be defined as a partnership between educators and families striving to enhance the student’s development in four major areas: emotional , social, behavioral and academic” . That can have a major influence on the students success, regardles of the social or cultural background of the family .
Based on University of Nebraska _ Lincal Researches , they found that in the presence of effective home-school partnerships,-Students have been shown to demonstrate:
* improvement in grades, test scores, attitudes, selfconcept, behavior, social skills
* greater study habits and homework completion rates
* more engagement in classroom learning activities
* higher attendance rates and a reduction in suspension
rates and discipline problems.So , what about the teachers and parents precence ?
-Teachers have been shown to:
* become more proficient in professional activities
* allocate more time to instruction
* become more involved with curriculum
* develop more student-oriented rather than taskoriented activities
* receive higher ratings on teaching performance
evaluations by principals
* indicate greater satisfaction with their jobs and request
fewer transfers.-Parents have been shown to:
* demonstrate greater understanding of the work of
schools and positive attitudes about school
* report increased contacts and communication with
educators, and a desire for more involvement
* improve their communication with their children,
report improved parent-child relationships, and
develop effective parenting skills
* become more involved in learning activities at home.Though all this evedence that substantiating the importance of family involvement , we still have hurdles and anchors that impede parental participation to grow .Generally , those obstacles are :
– the work issue: working can be an impediment to a parent’s involvement with their child’s school .
– parents don’t know how to be involved
– they don’t understand why involvement is importantAll in all , ” At the end of the day , the most overwhelming hey to child’s success is the positive involvement of parents” _ As.Jane.D.Hull_.

Family-school partnership.
Family-school partnership is a crucial subject to discuss. Especially , after the pandemic that the whole world has lived and is still living through. What are the opportunities and the setbacks of the relation between parents and schools ?
A connection between parents and schools would be really advantageous for parents as well as for teachers . Infact , A parent knows more what bores his child and what interests him . Also the teachers know the struggles of each one of their students , that’s how a collaboration between these two sides will afford a better learning for the student . He will study at ease after being surrounded by school and family . Furthermore, Involving parents in this , is also to help each parent to have answers to his questions regarding his child, as troubles…
Unfortunately, not everything said is easily applied , since many obstacles are faced . First , the lack of time for the parents , due to their own jobs . The school time can coincidence with the time of the parents’ work . So that they miss the meetings. Second, many parents don’t see the importance of getting involved, don’t understand why is it too beneficial,To them as well as to schools and especially to the child.
To conclude, Family-school partnership is prerequisite to the student’s development. parents and teachers must be aware of its importance. -
Yasmine halfi says:
Effective partnerships are based on mutual trust and respect, and shared responsibility for the education of the children and young people at the school, and they are very important for any student’s success. As a matter of fact, when educators and parents work together as partners, they create important opportunities for children to develop social, emotional, and academic competencies. In addition to that, teachers must always remember that parents are the child’s first teachers and that a partnership between home and school benefits children, families, and teachers alike. But most of the time, we see a lot of obstacles concerning this subject; the barriers to family involvement in education can be divided into four major categories: parental knowledge and attitudes, disparity between families and schools, current family situations, and logistical issues. (International Journal of Early Childhood Special Education)
To conclude, in order to provide the best possible education, schools must overcome those obstacles and partner with families and communities. -
amjad aabalou says:
Parents and families are the children’s first teachers, and they know about their children than the teachers will. In fact Family and school partnership is prerequisite if we intend to prepare the students for a better future because when school and families work together to support learning, children are more motivated to succeed, not just in school but in life.
Actually we find that the child learn at home first before school but to ensure the child’s success we need a team work between the school and the home to build their
skills and to develop the future creativity in children’s life that will be better .at the same time the school is a source of learning, where the student learn about the lesson and about life and here we can find the crucial role of parent and school partnership, the parent must give a value to their role as educator and to be interested about what their children are doing and to be a monitor .in other way we can say that the team work between the school and the home can achieve the impossible in the child’s life. -
Moumna hala says:
It is beyond all a shadow of doubt that school- family partnership has been one of the hot topics in the recent decades, creating a flurry of media interest. The overwhelming majority of educational frameworks agree unanimously that parent’s engagement in school has myriad of opportunities and setbacks. They assert that parent’s involvement is the best way to provide a thriving classroom.
Family is the first school for every child. In point of fact, school – family partnership has myriad of benefits. When parents team up with teachers, the educator can know the weakness of every student and transform it to strength. Moreover, parent’s involvement in schools develops a lifelong love of learning and provides a thriving classroom. Furthermore, students are able to build social skills and earn higher grades. Besides, parent’s engagement facilitates the work of the teacher himself, because he will know more the lessons that needs more focus. Nonetheless, many parents refuse collaborating with teachers due to plenty of reasons. In fact, some parents don’t fight for their kids and avoid taking any type of responsibility especially if the school is private. They justify their act by paying money for schools to take all the responsibility of kids. Added to this, some parents can’t accept that their children have some gaps as an American father mentioned: they expect me to go to school so they can tell me my kid is stupid. Furthermore, when parents are illiterate they can’t help their children. According to COURSE HERO, a Mexican mother who attended school through 6th grade comments about homework: sometimes, we can’t help teachers because it’s too hard. Last but not least, suggestions from parents can be ignored in some schools as a mother expressed: when I go to school, they want to tell me what to do at home, how to raise my kid. They never ask me what I think.
In brief, parent’s involvement in school has myriad of benefits that plays an effective role in learning, but it is also facing many obstacles that needs valuable solutions, because the real foundation starts at home as the quote goes on: at the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents.

Family-school partnerships are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at a school. In fact, families are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards. Schools have an important responsibility in helping to nurture and teach future generations and families trust schools to provide educational foundations for their children’s future. Students whose families are involved in their education typically receive higher grades and test scores, complete more homework, have better attendance, and exhibit more positive attitudes and behaviors. In other words, when families become involved in their children’s education, they have a better understanding of what is being taught in school and of teaching and learning in general. They gain more information about children’s knowledge and abilities, as well as the programs and services offered by the school. Unfortunately, parents often do not feel welcomed at school. They feel that what they may have to offer is unimportant and unappreciated. Also, parents may not believe that they have any knowledge that the school is interested in knowing. This is especially true when the parent may not have a great deal of education. It is also possible that the parent does not have a great deal of interest in the school or his child’s education. The parent may not feel that education is important. Another reason for lack of involvement is embarrassment. The parents may be illiterate. This could make communication difficult. Another source of embarrassment is memories of the parent’s failure in school. The parent would not have much desire to return to a place that only served to remind him of his own failures.
Finally, children are the priority. Change is the reality. Collaboration is the strategy. -
zainab merhrioui says:
The family partner-ship is extremely beneficial for children, in point of fact, parents involvement with their children’s school motivates them to work more as they pay attention to lacks and setbacks their kids face at school. It should be every parents duty to lead their children into a better education. It can also improve your children’s behavior in the classroom. In addition to that, when parents and teachers get engaged they can create many opportunities for a kid’s future. Students are able to develop their social skills. Students will gain more confidence and participate more in the classes, and it will build their personality more.
To conclude, parents involvement and engagement has many benefits that can brighter a kids future. -
ghayta houari says:
The relationship between family and school is very important.Increase,the family role in the kid’s education is more pre-requisite since schools alone can’t meet all of student’s needs ,they should take care of their child,attend some schools activities ,give them time and also have to be accountble at their kid’s school,i know some parents are very busy they may work more than a job, for this reason schools need to plan activities for different time of a day and evenings so that all the parents or the majority of them can attend.Hence, we require family and school’s partnership,they should work together so they enhance learning opportunities,educational progress and school success for students.To conclude,the family and schools must solidary to have a good educational life for their kids.

NourELHoudaBoujemaoui says:
Partnership in education build bridges between families, communities, and schools.In fact, Parents are capable of being the primary teachers and nurturers for their own children,Families are te central and critical to children’s educational performance.As a result ,when they become involved in school , it can be effective in any home no matter the language, income, or family structure,They should feel confident in supporting their students to be achievers in order to reinforce what they learned in the classroom.On the other side,teachers have to play they role as a real leaders for a better future.Simply, The family is the expert on the child; the teacher is the expert on the curriculum.” Both are educators, and both are significant.We can ‘t deny their efforts. For any school-family-community partnership to be successful, all three must be accountable. But all families sometimes need help, and many who live in poverty or in unstable settings need more help than others. Principals don’t have to be social workers to help these families meet their child-rearing responsibilities. ” By engaging the help of public and private community agencies and organizations, religious institutions, and employers, the schoo lcan work within the community to offer supports and strengthen the ability of families to do the right thing by their children.”That’s true,some families are illiterate ,poor that they don ‘t have the courage to show their voices in schools and sometimes believing that they have any knowledge that the school is interested in knowing. Another stastistics refers this problem to some parents who feel intimidated and unwelcome at school. Many parents had negative school experiences themselves or are so unfamiliar with the American culture that they do not want to get involved or feel unsure about the value of their contributions. Barriers are also created by parents who have feelings of inadequacy or are suspicious of or angry at the school (Jones, 2001; Caplan, 2000; Liontos, 1992):they don ‘t want to repeat the same experience.Few of them think that parents are not involved in schools because of the Bad experiences – Some parents might have bad experience or memories at school such as they are the victims of school violence or they have failed in school. Therefore,they don ‘t have that ambition and desire to meet the teachers. If . Parents are thefirst teachers of the child; they also mould the child’s character.Finally, “being behind the child that makes a progress is actively involved parent.”

Mohammed Elguerrouj says:
No one can deny that school family partnership is very important and essential for the development of children. So, the question is: What are the opportunities and setbacks of a family-teachers partnership?
First, the foundation starts at home before they walk out of that door. Parents are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence them. Second, children with engaged parents are more likely to earn higher grades. According to some research, 94% of the students who revise their courses at home with their parents are more likely to have better marks. Third, when educators and parents work together as partners, they create important opportunities for children to develop social, emotional, and academic competencies. However, this parental education faces a lot of problem such us parent’s knowledge. Many parents are illiterate. They demonstrate very little or no education. In addition to that, most of parents aren’t interested in their child’s education and they don’t ask him about it. Furthermore, some parents take their involvement too far. They are at school so much that they become a source of distraction for their child, or their child’s classmates and teachers.
To conclude, a child success is reliable to his entourage and how good they influence on him. Every person close to him has a role to help him in his education. -
Med Zaoui says:
It is beyond all shadow of doubt that the family-school partnership has become a hot topic that generated a flurry of schools interests in the recent years. In point of fact, the overwhelming majority of educators agree that it is a very beneficial, efficient and has a plenty of pros that offers for the kids’ education. Still, we must not forget that it has a plethora of cons that are encountered in the process.
On the one hand, school-family partnership is an opportunity to shape up the learning competences and skills. Indeed, education is an essential clue to success. In other words, it is not only a powerful way to promote the kid’s abilities, but also to face his disabilities. Additionally, and the parents are here to be a wakeup call, sort of motivators to encourage him, help him and in hard moments and congratulate him when he succeed. Moreover, collaboration has a positive impact on the student’s learning, Educators believe that home and school can accomplish more than either home or school can accomplish alone. Besides, problems are solved mutually and in a positive way, since when students are experiencing school difficulties, school personnel and parents understand that two-way communication is necessary, therefore, collaborative problem solving efforts help to foster optimism about what school personnel and families can accomplish by working together. Finally, Family-school relationships are cultivated and are sustained over time. They are an on-going process, families and educators work together within and across school years. To conclude, family school partnership gives the opportunity to ameliorate the student.
On the other hand, there are a lot of obstacles that are faced and reduce the efficiency of it. Actually, schools and parents faced numerous setbacks, even if some passed them and succeeded; they hinder others and discourage them. In another meaning, communication between parents and school can be negative due to the absence of the parents, when the parents do not have single information about their child’s stats. In addition to this, it can also be due to the mutual blaming about why the kid has difficulties in a certain subject… Moreover, it can be caused by the clear grading, even segregation that the kid undergoes, or the parents who does not want the best, but the same education that they endured. In brief, parents and schools are not always on the same path.All in all, despite the great issues faced in the process, family school partnership are and will be the best way to promote a student, as the quote goes “Children are the priority, Change is the reality, and Collaboration is the strategy”

“‚We believe partnerships with parents, families, communities, and other stakeholders are essential to quality public education and student success.‛” NEA core value on partnership
Every child has the power to succeed in school and in life and every parent, family member can help. Obama said:” the responsibility of children education begins at home”. Parents and families are a child’s first and most important teachers. so all parents must build and keep strong ties to their children’s schools. In fact, Working in partnership with families and communities will increase the abilities of each
partner to learn more about each other to support the goals, hopes, and dreams of the children. A tremendous benefit of partnership will be an increase in knowledge of families, schools, and communities and an appreciation for the strengths each partner brings to the table. We know that KNOWLEDGE is POWER and that when POWER is
shared; the responsibility for educating children and improving schools also is shared. When working in true partnership, partners learn more from and about each other ‚Parents, families, educators, and communities grow to respect each other, share more, and do more. The end result is ‚a great public school for every student.
In addition to this, To ensure a successful partnership between the school and families must include:
_Family-school relationships should be focused on student progress and success.
_Families should be active partners in decision making.
_Problems are solved mutually and without blaming each other. -
Naji & Ghassane Oumharch says:
Families are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and even after. Schools have an important responsibility in helping to teach the future generations and families trust schools to offer to their kids the best education. At the same time, schools need to recognize the primary role of the family in education. This is why it is important for families and schools to work together in partnership. Actually, Family-school partnerships are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at a school. Good partnerships are based on mutual trust and respect, and shared responsibility between parents and school. However, this partnership has both: opportunities and setbacks. First, let’s analyze the positive side. When family and school collaborate, the way of teaching will evolve because parents will give their opinions about every decision taken by the school, they are the ones that know their children better so their point of views can make a difference and make the educational way better. In addition to this, when there is a family-school partnership, problems between teachers and parents will decrease, because problems are the result of non-comprehension and discussion, and since partnership provide them, there will be no problems. Nevertheless, this partnership can have a negative side. In example: some parents cannot find time to visit their kid’s school due to work, which can be considered as a problem because the school will have to meet each parent in the time he chooses and individually, so big conferences are impossible to have. Beside this, sometimes poor families refuse to collaborate simply because they feel not accepted and rejected from society. To conclude, family-school partnership is so important but at the same time not easy to apply, it needs time and effort from both school and families.

To conclude, parent’s involvement in school has myriad of benefits that plays an effective role in learning. -
Souhayla Amjoun says:
It’s beyond all shadow of doubt that family involvement in schools is therefore central to high quality education and is part of the core business of schools.
In fact, Families are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards. In addition to this, Schools have an important responsibility in helping to nurture, teach and provide educational foundations for future generation. At the same time, schools need to recognise the primary role of the family in education. This is why it is important for families and schools to work together in partnership. However Teachers do not systematically encourage family involvement, and parents do not always participate when they are encouraged to do so. Nearly all the Parents are busier than they have ever been. Most families have both parents who are working, often in busy jobs which means they have to attend meetings and events over the course of their day. Also, there are plenty of parents who don’t have English as their first language and communication can be difficult, so they are afraid of being present and get ashamed in front of people. Moreover, some parents have heavy responsibilities, so they believe that parent engagement in schools is a waste of time and their role is limited at home.
To conclude , Family involvement can have a major impact on student learning, regardless of the social or cultural background of the family, as it’s said: « Parents are the first teachers of their children, Their role must be recognised, respected and incorporated in the governance of schools and delivery of education.» -
Roa Kajout says:
Family – school partnership is pre-requisite . In point of fact , if we intend to prepare the students for a better future. Actually , school can offer students what they need to thrive . In addition to that , the keys of education succession, are the student, the teachers and the parents that’s why we need a team up of parents students and schools for a good results and a good student’s future . Besides , Parent should help their kids with homework because home is the first place of education after it’s school . Actually , we have to give the chance and the opportinities to children , so they can express themselves freely. As Obama said ” give every child a chance to succeed ” . In breif, Family education is one from the important issues in education.

Schools partnership is pre-requisite . Being involved can push the student and motivate him, but actually a large number of the parents think that it’s just waste of time . If the parents can know what his kid is studying , ask him some questions it’s will change the personnality of the student he will beleive that some one is motivating him so that he can focus more on his studies , also I suggest the parents can be involved in differents activities , for instance : drawing , sports , reading . So that the sudents can reduce the stress of their studies .But their is huge problem if the parents don’t have a good relationship with his kids he can not motivate him cause the kid can not share his happiness with his parents so the presence of his parents will stress him. To conclude school family partnership has more opportunites than the setbacks.

There is no doubt that partnering up with schools is, in one way or another, the right decision parents should ever make for their child’s sake .

No one can deny that school and parents partnership has been a popular subject for a while now. According to a significant majority of studies, when parents participate in their children’s education, they raise them a lot more successfully than those who don’t.
– opportunities and advantages:
As a matter of fact, when parents and educators team up, they create amazing occasions for students to develop social and emotional skills and to upgarade their level. On the other hand, it will also benifit the parents. They will have a better understanding of the school curriculum and activities, they will be more comfortable with the quality of education their child is receiving, and they will spend more time with their children and become able to communicate better with them.
– setbacks:
Unfortunalely, plenty of parents face a couple of obstacles that doesn’t allow them to take part in their kids education. The most common one is work. In fact, some parents don’t have control over their work and don’t have enough free time. Therefore they are unable to attend the school meetings. In addition to that, some parents are also not conscious of their role and their importance when it comes to school engament.
All in all, education consists of three parts: the student, the teacher, and THE PARENTS. -
Hajar Bensalah says:
No one denies that the cooperation between parents and the school is sufficient to push the student to love school more and make him more serious in his studies, while some contries do not give importance to this act ( Morocco for exemple ). So what are the opportunities and the setbacks of school and family partnership? Our parents are the persons who understand us without needing to speak, they tirelessly watch the details of our lives…they know us even better than ourselves. For that we consider them as our first educators, they teach us evry simple thing about life, they inspired us in the past and they still do. Schools have also their own role, schools are responsible of our education level, in the same time the school should recognize the parents role. And if the parents and school work with same hand we will have a postive influence on student, they give their children more motivation to be polite and diligent students (to make their parents proud). But sometimes we find some parents that throw all the work on the teachers, and forget about their importance in the life of their children, as we know the table need three legs to stand well, and if one of them is broken (school, pupils or parents), the child’s future will vanish.
In brief, not only students who are responsible for their success but parents and schools are responsible too. -
Family-school partnership are collaborative relationships and activities involving school staff, parents and other family members of students at school. This parent involvement in schools allows parents and staff to work together in respectful and mutually supportive ways, creating an environment in which understanding, trust, and respect can flourish. At the same time. Both, schools and parents are willing to do what’s necessary to give students what they need to be successful. This responsibility begins at himes not in classes,and teachers can’t meet all their needs at school. So this engagement, or in other words when parents are participating, they do play a role in the child’s education. In which will come with benefits and impact on it. Such as improving school work,gaining more interest and increasing confidence and it will also help in earning higher grades. Still, there are a lot of setbacks, lien some parents who aren’t intersted in those activities or either don’t have time because of work, and there are also parents who don’t have English as their native language which will make it hard to communicate with school and get engaged with them .In conclusion, school-family partnership can be considered as the key of a successful and productive student.

Many people nowadays would not ignore the fact that family-school partnerships have a beneficial outcome on the educational life of a child. It is a way to support and empower the parental engagement. It was one of the topics that are most likely to be debated, but now teachers and parents agreed that parent engagement is the right thing to enrich student learning and wellbeing.
As clearly stated, families have a big impact on the child’s life, and just as them, the teacher also has a big influence, and also a big responsibility, since parents have a full trust on schools to provide the students a good education teaching them every single fundamental point they should learn in their life and so on building up their future. Considering the massive influence of the family and the school, it is unquestionable that they should agree in some points about the students, here is why family-school partnership is mandatory. That is what will make the students have a better vision and a better thinking, and most of all, a better education, reassuring everyone about his future. Unfortunately, parents sometimes ignore this essential results of parent engagement and so that leads to teachers not having a proper and professional talk with the parents, which results most of the times to teachers not intestinally ignoring the kid, but not knowing from the first place who he is.
To wrap it all up, it is not easy to build a strong partnership between schools and families, regarding all the circumstances, but still commitment from both sides is highly required in those times to keep a well structured relation between both the school and family, and a positive parental engagement. It is significant and it helps their children get the most from school. -

The cooperation of the family and the school is very important in a child’s professional life.
In fact ,The family is the first influence on the child. He is very attached to them since his childhood.And Their parents are his role models, so they should help them in their studies, because it is impossible for the school to teach them everything.Also, The child has to learn some from school, some from his family, and some by himself.Added to this, The family has to monitor their children since their childhood and teach them to complete their exercises on time. So that when they grow up, they will have a habit to study well and will not find difficulties. As the quote goes :”The family teach us about the importance of knowledge , education, hard work and effort. It teach us about enjoying ourselves , having fun ,keeping fit and healthy.” Bisides , When we say helping them we don’t mean just giving them informations or helping them in exrcices or memorising .But we mean also , giving them psycological comfort , for example : having no conflicts at home ,living with both of parents ,having a good living conditions.ect . In generale , Providing peace and comfort at home .As the quote goes : “Home should be an anchor, a port in a storm , a refuge ,a happy place in wich you dwell, a place where we are loved and where we can love .”
The family and the school are both important in evry person ‘s life . -
Karam LEBRAZI says:
Family-school connections are collaborative relations and projects involving the school staff and parents. Families are the first educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards, and schools need to recognise the primary role of the family in education. In fact, shools without parents’ involvement is like a knight without his sword. It has huge benefits for the students to develop their self-esteem. As Obama said: “the responsibility of children education begins at home”. Unfortunately, this partnership has also some setbacks. In point of fact, most of parents think that their responsibility is only at home and their engagement at school is a time-waste. In addition to this, some families are just afraid of teaching their children the wrong method so they get ashamed by teachers. Furthermore, the most common obstacle that parents face is work. They do not have an enough free time to help their children. But every problem has a solution. That free time is enough to show the children how to work alone, so they can teach themselves by themselves. To conclude, schools and families must overcome obstacles and work together in order to build the students’ future.

It is undoubted that school-family partnership became an alarming issue parents and schools must reconsider. Educators around the world all conclusively prove that its impact on students is noticeable. Then, what are the opportunities and setbacks of this partnership?
School-family partnership can be the introduction of a new era. Where teachers and parents team up to provide the students all his needs to achieve a better educational career and therefore a better world. In point of fact, families must learn to trust teachers and create a better mutual connection with the student, both the teachers and parents know the student very well, but communication between the two educators is required for the base of the student’s learning. Furthermore, the parents’ engagements have been proven to create a profound change in classrooms, students start appreciating learning, are more motivated, and see better results in their grades. Encouraging parents’ engagement is one of the best ways to create a positive learning environment for every student.
Unfortunately, parents’ engagement is often neglected or ignored because parents generally think schools offer already everything the student’s needs for advancing in their journey or because they are scared either to invade their child’s intimity or they don’t know how to properly be engaged in their student’s learning.
All in all, the school-family partnership could change this world for the good but is an issue people dismiss. -
Meysa Bachiri says:
Despite evidence of the positive effects of family involvement, its potential is still largely ignored in schools. Teachers do not encourage family involvement, and parents do not always participate when they are encouraged to do so. School-family partnership is an effective way to support and empower positive parent engagement to enrich student learning. In many articles, family-school partnerships are discussed as an essential way to increase the opportunities and supports for all students to exhance their learning progress. In point of fact, parents are the first education. Parents and families are the first and continuing educators of their children and they continue to influence their children’s learning and development during the school years and long afterwards. Schools have an important responsibility in helping to nurture and teach future generations and families trust schools to provide educational foundations for their children’s future. At the same time, schools need to recognise the primary role of the family in education. This is why it is important for families and schools to work together in partnership. Added to this, partnerships in education build bridges between communities and schools and reinforce values, culture and the learning opportunities that schools can provide for their students.These actions make schools stonger.
To conclude, school-family partnership can be considered as the key of a successful and productive student. -
It is undeniable that family-school partnership has been one of the most enigmatic and debatable issues in the recent decades. The vast majority of the teachers asserts that its causes are
various and interrelated. So the question is : what are the opportunities and the setbacks of this issue ?
Family and school are the two schools of the kids . In fact , Family-school and community partnerships are an effective way to support and empower positive parent engagement, and bring together family and community resources to enrich student learning and wellbeing. In addition to this ,we need to bridge the gap between parents and school cause they are the chance for the students to success in his life . Moreover , we must have trust in our education to actively include families in the educational decision-making process, teachers must trust families, and families in turn must trust teachers and take an active role in supporting their child’s learning and development. In other words , parents must communicate with school and share their opinions to create projects not problems between them . Furthermore , parents and teachers must share responsibility for solving problems at home and school. They communicate clear goals, strategies and expectations to students and work toward the same outcomes. Besides , sharing information about child behavior across settings is valued is very important , when the parents go to the teachers and ask them about the behavior of the son , the teachers lies and parents can’t know how their son is doing in class . Finally , family and school are two collaborative teams , each one complement the other in every thing because they are partners in life who give chances for the students to success in their lives . discuss a
On an other hand , they are some setbacks that don’t let the family and school be partners in life . Besides , sometimes the parents don’t want to be a volunteer with the school because they said that it is not they work , the teacher do his work , they don’t need them but this teacher can not teach everything to the students because the first school for the kid is home before he goes to school he needs to know the primary skills . Additionally , sometimes the mistakes is in school because they don’t organize conferences where they create projects and make decisions and discuss all the problems of the students in class to solve it . In brief , family and school are not always in the same direction .
To conclude , family-school partnership is the only way to give and promote to the kids a better future and a chance to success in their lives and let every kid be someone . As the quote goes : “At the end of the day , the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents .” -
Aya Souidi says:
It is undeniable that school-family partnership is crucial to foster self-esteem, positive development of the children. Unfortunately, a lot of countries can not succeed at that point. So what are the opportunities and setbacks of school-family partnership?
Family involvement has a powerful influence on children’s achievement in school. When parents are involved in their children’s education, they attend school more regularly, complete more homework, demonstrate more positive attitudes and behaviors, graduate from high school at higher rates, and are more likely to enroll in higher education than students with less involved families. In addition to this, the most successful schools in engaging parents and other family members in support of their children’s learning look beyond traditional definitions of parent involvement. In other words, they take parents as full partners in the education of their children. They view student achievement as a shared responsibility, including parents, administrators, teachers, and community leaders–play important roles in supporting children’s learning. Because, education is like table with three legs. Parents, teachers and students. If one leg is missing then the tableau not stand on the ground. It require the sustained mutual collaboration, support, and participation of school staffs and families at home and at school in activities that can directly affect the success of children’s learning.
Nonetheless, a plenty of problems prevent this kind of strategies. Some parents are busy at work and they can not be present in their children’s activities because it doesn’t match with their schedules. Equally important, others are shy to go to their kids school, they think that they are a source of intimidation for their children. Last but not least, those who have a low level of interest in this activities. They think it is a waste of time. Hence, the schools must not assume this absence. They must raise the alarm to solve this problems.
To conclude, increasing family involvement in their children’s education is an important goal for schools to have better learning.
