Product Description
Product Description
Very few studies looked at parents’ expectations of and experiences with Catholic schools in urban settings. Little information was provided as well about how administrators in urban Catholic schools use parents’ input to make needed change. This study used qualitative methods to explore the stories of parents in three urban elementary Catholic schools that serve children coming mostly from low-income families--Catholic and non-Catholic alike-- in the American Midwest. To understand parents' expectations, this study used field observations, school archival data, and the transcripts of structured interviews with 30 parents, 5 teachers, and 3 principals. Parents expected urban Catholic schools to provide well-rounded education, strong discipline, sound religion classes, and a safe environment. They expected the Catholic school to reinforce the moral teaching that they provided to their children at home, and to communicate with them through conferences, calls, and notes about their children’s academic, behavioral, and spiritual development.
