Abstract
The article presents the results of a questionnaire survey of parents of elementary school pupils in which they commented on the course of education during school closures in spring 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The questionnaire mapped family facilities, parental time and competencies, and parenting Covid practices in helping with learning and communicating with the school.
The analysis focused on the question of whether the parents assessed the home education as managed and whether they felt concerned about their child's further school results. At the same time, we understand the parents' evaluations as the result of the interaction between technical, educational-relational, and competence conditions in families on the one hand and requirements on the part of schools on the other.
The analysis showed that most parents rated home education positively. However, almost a third of the parents gave a negative evaluation, which was mainly related to concerns about the child's school success and feelings of uncertainty resulting from communication with the school.
These were mainly parents with lower education, who had less time, technical equipment, and competence to help the child with learning.
