Experiences of Children Studying at the School Where the Teacher Mother or Father Work
Psychology in the Schools, v62 n3 p778-787 2025
Teacher parents enroll their children in the schools where they work nowadays. This qualitative study aimed to explore what children experience when they attend a school where their teachers and parents work. The students, aged between 10 and 13 years (M = 11.2; SD = 1.22), were all students at the school where their parents worked during their middle school years. Of the students who were in the same school as their parents, the parents of six of them were also course teachers. The thematic analysis of the qualitative interviews identified the following four main themes: Advantages, expectations, artificial friendship, and recommendations. Within the framework of the findings, practical recommendations were offered to psychological help professionals and families working on the subject.
