Abstract
Ethnographers and sociologists working in the field of education have described the relationship between home and school as a competitive one which often discourages cooperation and collaboration between parents and teachers. Using Bateson's model of the symmetrical relationship, a case of a highly escalated family-school conflict was evaluated. The family systems concepts and strategies that were used to promote a working alliance between family and school were also presented.Keywords
