Abstract: Teacher-parent relationships are the basis of school-home collaboration, which is conducive to forming a joint educational force and then promoting the full development of students. This study examines how teacher-parent relationships and teacher-student relationships are related to students’ school attitudes in primary school and distinguishes the difference between fathers and mothers. This study recruited 1366 four-grade students and their parents from Beijing to fill in scales at two points. The results indicated that: (1) The quality of parent-teacher relationship reported by parents negatively influences school avoidance, and the frequency of parent-teacher contact negatively influences school preference; (2) The quality of the parent-teacher relationship reported by mothers negatively influences school preference, and the frequency of parent-teacher contact can positively predict school avoidance. In contrast, the two pathways reported by fathers are not significant; (3) Teacher-student relationship played a mediating role in parent-teacher relationship quality and school attitude, which means the teacher-parent relationship can predict school attitude through the teacher-student relationship.

Key words: parent-teacher relationships quatity, parent-teacher contact frequency, teacher-child relationship, school attitude, the difference between parents
