"I wish to stress that parents
cannot be disinterested in the education of their children;
it is necessary that they become even more aware
that school does not exempt them from their mission,
but aids them in fulfilling it;
and that they are the first educators of their children.
Therefore, the harmonious collaboration
between family and school is indispensable:
Both united in the impassioned task of forming men and women."
Pope John Paul II, 1983
