User, Client, and Partner: Various Facets of Citizenship in the Relationship Between Parents and the School

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This article aims to reflect on the factors influencing the relationshipbetween family and school, fostering parental involvement in education.THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The text raises inquiries into non‑individualisticand psychosocial factors shaping the relationship between family and school. These explorationstake the form of theoretical heuristics derived from critical readings of texts.THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Three types of rationality governing the state‑user clientare presented, alongside three parental roles in the school relationship: user, client, and partner.RESEARCH RESULTS: Each role corresponds to a particular type of rationality and implies dif‑ferent levels of civic engagement, from passivity to active participation.CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH: In re‑searching the family‑school relationship, it’s important to consider the broader political‑legal con‑text that frames citizens’ daily and political activities. Particularly promising are Mouffe’s conceptsof radical citizenship and Biesta’s notion of public space for understanding deep parental engage‑ment. Referring to these findings directly in relation to empirical and theoretical research on paren‑tal involvement conducted in Poland is recommended.
