Contrastingly, teachers showing higher levels of respect toward parents opinions may have a higher sense of PA, mainly because, although this may increase their overload, they may tend to listen to parents wishes and invite them to talk in the school environment, and if this collaboration is successful and results in practical improvement for the children, they may experience higher levels of PA. Second, the Difficulty factor showed positive effects and the Being Proactive factor showed negative effects on Depersonalization (DP). Previous literature shows that some parents are really difficult to deal with (Kasai, Citation2018; Onoda, Citation2008, Citation2015) and when teachers experience difficulties when dealing with specific parents, school principals, other experienced teachers, coordinators for children with special needs, and colleagues, along with mental health professionals (i.e., school counselors and school social workers) should provide systematic support to prevent teachers burnout and turnover. It is essential to gain cooperation from parents to fit children into the school goal. Our school is an education and community hub which nurtures and grows children who are passionate about learning and embrace challenge. Some research has been published recently that emphasize the importance of collaboration between families and schools; however, those studies focus on students with needs such as those who are often absent (Mori, Citation2011; Tamura & Ishikuma, Citation2003) and children with special educational needs (Tamura & Ishikuma, Citation2007). In this context, MEXT (Citation2013) reported that, according to a survey conducted in 2012, among 3,911 teachers who responded to a consignment survey, the percentage of those who felt acute or chronic stress caused by their dealing with students behavioral problems was 68%, with 64% caused by dealing with paperwork, 62% by teaching, 60% by the quality of their work, and 57% by their dealing with difficult parents or by their communication with them.

WebLocated in North San Diego County, Escondido Union School District is comprised of 17 elementary schools, 1 intermediate school, and 5 middle schools. Internal consistency coefficients were obtained for each scale as well as each of their factors. Moreover, Appreciation seems to be more of a cognitive aspect of teachers partnership attitude, meaning that, even if teachers believe that collaboration is important, it does not automatically create a positive attitude toward it. For PA, the Traditional Attitude (=.25, p<.01) and Respect Parents (=.21, p<.10) factors showed significant effects.

The first factor included items such as I respect parents wishes that their children will be successful and well-received at school and I invite parents to talk to teachers if something comes up, so it was named Respect Parents (=.86).

Further, Adams and Christenson (Citation2000) showed that parents trust in teachers is higher than teachers trust in parents, and our findings demonstrated that, if teachers trust parents and take actions toward establishing appropriate partnerships, it is likely that they will be able to establish good homeschool relationships, thereby producing good effects in childrens school success.
