Parents demand
much from schools other than academic teaching, parents view schools not only to
teach science, math and other subjects but as institutions that serve in addressing
morals, ethics and good behaviors to children. This role of schools will be
efficient supported by parents at home. Parents’ perceptions might change with
different schools and might be less demanding in public schools.
Parents’ perceptions on how schools
affect children’s morals and behaviors differ between schools, private and
religious schools are more described to teach morals and good habits even not
through religion but through the very disciplined atmosphere they create. Teachers
in the school who are a part of it affect how students acquire behaviors and
morals ‘the behavior of the teacher probably influences the character of the
learning climate more than any other single factor’ (Knowles, 2000) .
This moral role that schools play should
be backed up and combined by the role of parents at home in order to assure a
proper moral education of children “Teachers have to work in partnership on
moral education with parents” (berkowitz,
Marvin, & Grych, 2000, pp. 55-72) , none of them should
play a negative role.

One comment is why we always look down at the public sector. In the whole world, the public sector is put in the first degree. So why in Lebanon we always try to put it in the last degree. We all have to work on changing this thought until it is eliminated.
The school and home should work in correlation to implement the good morals in the students. In my opinion parents should put the kids in schools that fulfill their moral perspectives and the schools should in return help the parents in shaping the students believes and attitudes.

because it is selected to be in the lowest, this is of course in exception of some public schools. the goverment is always trying to favor private schools, in my opinion, or else why does the goverment pay for some private schools that are given a license
Some parents expect everything from school, as if teachers are the only affecting agents in the students' life. They ignore the truth that media and peer pressure has been the main role player in praising our children. Parents have been overloaded with many things more than just taking care of their children who made them search for who play their main role...
Good morals cannot be only acquired from the schools or only at home. but if there is a good coloration between both teachers and parents they can reach to build an effective and successful personality for their children
I agree ziad, parents do demand from schools more than academics. As we all know, each school has its own hidden curricula that can be explicit through students’ behavior as well teachers’ activities. Based on that, parents recognize the school they want. You would hear parents saying I want my child to learn in a good academic school that teaches him/her religion too. Others might say religion can be taught at home or by his own experience but academics should be learned and experienced in a good school. So, according to the parents’ demands the school is chosen. However, parents should be convinced that schools are not the only facture that affects students. Schools, as you said, without the parental cooperation would not lead anywhere.
