The issues of raising children have always worried parents and teachers. Today it is very common to meet parents who make complaints about the school, saying that the school has stopped raising children. And here the question naturally arises: who, after all, brings up - a family or a school?
The family is the most important institution in the upbringing of the younger generation. After all, the upbringing that the child will receive in the family will accompany the child all his life. The family is the most important factor in the development of a child's personality. That in which family the child grows up, and forms his physical and emotional development, having a direct impact on his mental abilities. The family forms the fundamental foundations of social and interpersonal relationships, values. No wonder the German satirist Brand said that "a child learns what he sees in his home." Upbringing should not end in the family, it must continue at school, it is then that upbringing will be effective and bear fruit. A child spends a lot of time at school, and the educational institution has a huge impact on him.
Upbringing has always been an integral part of the educational process, but the school still has slightly different functions. The school should teach the child, expand his horizons, give him a certain store of knowledge, help to reveal the student's abilities so that he can self-actualize in the future. This is precisely the educational function of the school. For a full-fledged educational process, contact and cooperation between the school and the family is important. The responsibility for the upbringing of their children is borne only by the family, while the school must help, support and direct in the right direction. Family and school participation in the child's life must work together. The child should know that he is loved in the family, an atmosphere should be created around him that is comfortable for his development. The school helps to assist parents in improving their psychological knowledge, constantly involve them in the educational process.
Parents and teachers should work together to create conditions for the child, forming in him qualities that will help in further development. Successful collaboration is possible only when the family and teachers are willing to cooperate and understand the need for these actions. For successful interaction, parents and teachers must have general requirements for the child. Modern educational institutions can use different methods of working with families.
Parent meeting is one of the forms, but it can be called outdated. Now schools hold various seminars and conferences, if required, then individual consultations with parents aimed at helping parents. It is wrong when parents shift the responsibility for raising children to teachers. Parents and educators must understand that parenting is a difficult, mutual work based on the principle of equality.
