This study looks at the meeting and relations between parents and school; minority-parents, fathers and mothers, and parents with different levels of education. From the teachers point of view, the parents are mostly seen as a practical resource. A lot of the parents wish to participate more than they are given the opportunity to. Parents with high education are more involved then the parents with less education. The study also shows that the mothers are the most eager to participate, and that the minorityparents sees the cooperation as more challenging than the Norwegian parents. Both partens and teachers thinks of the parental involvement as important. Still there are few models and guidelines.
