Vol.21,No.3(2016)
Studia paedagogica

Abstract
This paper presents the results of qualitative research examining problematic relationships between primary school teachers and the mothers of their pupils. Based on the answers of our respondents, the paper describes the different forms of such relationships and divides parents into either passive or actively disappointed, with disappointment voiced or remaining silent. The paper also identifies challenges that accompany such relationships, such as a certain level of discomfort for teachers and the possibility of pupil transfer to another school, which need to be faced by the teachers and their schools.

Keywords:
parents; relationship between family and school; primary school
