- Title
Degrees of Distance between Teachers and Parents in Urban France.
- Authors
Anderson-Levitt, Kathryn M.
- Abstract
This article explores the gulf between elementary teachers and parents in different neighborhoods of one French city as indicated by the teachers' criticisms of parents. While these teachers saw all parents as 'natural enemies' to the extent that no parent was immune from criticism, the teachers criticized different categories of parents differently. Role conflict, class conflict, local history, and the need to blame school failure on someone all contributed to the teachers' complex perception of parents.
