THE FAMILY'S SATISFACTION WITH SCHOOL

Vladimir Jurić ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zagreb

Abstract

The family environment is becoming more diverse and more
complex. The traditionality of some institutions has not lessened
this problem because even within these institutions complexity is
increasing. Such is the case with school, with which the parents
are experiencing a growing difficulty in communication. In part,
this is due to changing traditional roles, but mostly because of a
growing importance of school in the life of a child, and the parents,
which can be frustrating for both. It seems very important to
examine the parents' satisfaction with school, for in that way the
school gathers important information for improving cooperation.
A questionnaire with 15 statements directly and indirectly dealing
with the feeling of satisfaction was used. Examined were 349
parents of pupils in the final three grades of elementary school
(6-8th grade). The analysis of results gives insight into the satisfaction
of parents, but at the same time it warn s about the possibility
of gathering parental judgment relevant for the development of the
program of home and school cooperation. This topic is discussed
in greater detail in this article.
