Meanwhile, relationship with superior, performance appraisal, and lack of student engagement contributes negatively to the emotional well-being of lecturers in the workplace.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0495/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Consent was obtained for the use of audiotapes, which were transcribed verbatim with a thematic analysis of data. <strong>Results:</strong> The majority of the participants (67.8%) were female school staff between the ages of 25-60 years. Most of the parents were females (90.7%) between the ages of 25-46 years. The level of knowledge of both the school staff and parents about the school-community relationship was limited. Despite their limited knowledge, both the school staff and parents had a positive attitude toward the school-community relationship, and the schools involved the parents in the school activities.

From the moment a baby comes into the world, it continues its cycle by becoming an adult in the paradox of expectation and trying to manage its expectations from its own baby. The parameter in which the expectation phenomenon is highest in the family criterion reaches its peak during the academic adventures in which children's lives are built.
