title: [Parents, from the opinions of students in the first classes of general education secondary schools].
abstract: In cooperation with the workers of the Province Sanitary-Epidemiological Stations in Bydgoszcz, Gdańsk, Koszalin, Cracow, Lódź, Poznań and Wrocław an inquiry study was carried out of 839 students (517 girls and 322 boys) of the first classes of secondary schools, of whom 518 attended state schools and 321 attended schools run by non-governmental agencies. Since no statistically significant differences were found between girls and boys and between both types of schools, the results are presented for the whole studied population. Only 57% of the students regarded that in difficult situations they could rely on help and support of their parents; 55% considered that a mutual understanding existed between them and their parents; 7% described their relations with their parents as bad; 47 regarded their home atmosphere as calm and serene; 9% reported their families as contankerous; in 6% of the families quarrels between parents were frequent, and 15% of the students experienced such quarrels as particularly depressing, with 38% of girls and 14% of boys ruminating them even during lessons. Of interest were the data concerning spending of leisure time with parents. Time was spent with parents on school-days by 20% of the responders, and on Saturday and Sunday by 34%. On the other hand, time was not spent with parents on school-days by 37%, and during weekends by 16%. On weekdays 26% of female students from state-run schools and 12% of those from other schools spent the leisure time with their parents. Only 55% of the responding boys considered that the time spent with parents was sufficient.
