Summary/Abstract: The theory of education has not addressed the problem of distance learning to a proper extent. The pandemic caused by Covid-19, forced governments to cut back on schooling and organize distance learning. Among the main factors on which this process would largely depend were the parents of school children. For the needs of this paper, we compiled some questions for parents, and the same questions were used for interviewing them, when the teaching process had been going on for two months and there were still two weeks left until the end of the school year. The aim was to gather information about the question: How prepared were parents to deal with the situation in materialistic, software, and pedagogical terms? Five parents of primary school children from Kicevo were involved in the research. The results showed a lack of communication between teachers and parents. Parents feel more prepared if the same situation were to be repeated.
