Home-school communication is now an important issue in education due to the increasingly visible involvement of parents in education. Given that schools and families have different educational philosophies, there will inevitably be communication problems between parents and schools. This paper uses Behaviourism and Constructivism to analyse the ways in which families and schools in China should improve communication between home and school and can set up forms such as parent-teacher conferences.
