Knowing and Being Known: Parents' Experiences with Rural Schools.

McClelland, Jerry

Journal of Research in Rural Education, v13 n2 p108-16 Fall 1997

Phenomenological study examined the social experiences of eight rural parents who stood up for their child at school. Main themes characterizing their experiences were: (1) parents know the teachers and principal; (2) it is common knowledge in the community whenever a child has a problem at school; and (3) what happens at school can change relationships.
