There has been little research until now on the behaviour shown by students in the relations between school and family. Such behaviour is, however, an interesting indicator of the student’s active role in these relations. Our research looks into the strategies that sixth-grade students develop while conveying messages between parents and teachers. Our analysis adopts an interactive view of socialization and shows the impact of message content on different types of strategies. The results reveal, in particular, that students show more audacity with respect to messages dealing with questions of assessment.
