Conflicts between parents and teachers in the rise of the republican school

Abstract

At the beginning of the Republic (1819 – 1830), public education formed the basis of the modern educational system. From its beginnings the uncomfortable relationships and misunderstanding between society led by parents and teachers began to become apparent. The most common conflicts between them, related to the misunderstanding of the pedagogic method, (mutual teaching or lancasterism), to the absence of the children in the school, to the rejection of the ways of discipline used by the teachers, to the disagreement on behalf of the parents concerning religious instruction in schools, to the discontinuation of the job of teacher in the family and to the tiring of the teachers through continuous complaining from the parents.
