Schools and communities are closely intertwined and both benefit from collaboration. Teachers continue the work of parents in educating children while addressing difficulties like poor attendance or habits. Solutions involve positive communication between teachers, parents, and students, with encouragement and praise. Values like respect, cooperation, responsibility, and persistence are developed. The school is typically located in the community and there are organized relationships between community projects, celebrations, and school associations. Both benefit from partnership in public safety, beautification, and instructional resources.
