Objectives. The objective of this research was knowing how the family is involved in solving school problems and the student's free time activities. Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 204 students from "D. Cantemir" High School in Iași. There were 122 young people (59.81%) from the 9^th grade and 82 (40.19%) from the 12^th grade. The students completed a questionnaire about their parents' educational level and their concern regarding the school and free time activities of their children. The results were processed by using Pearson’s chi-squared test. Results. In most cases, the father had high school education (60.78%), the differences calculated according to the student's level of education being statistically insignificant (p>0.05). The mother had, most frequently, high school education (50.49%), with insignificant differences by classes (p> 0.05). Parents' concern for homework preparation by students is especially "rarely" (36.76%) or "most often" (26.96%), with significant differences by class (p˂0.01), which draws attention to the parents of students in the 9^th grade who were more interested in this aspect. Concern for leisure was predominantly "rarely" (40.19%) or "most often" (37.25%), with statistically significant differences by class (p˂0.01). Conclusions. The society is witnessing a worrying situation in which the family's concern for the student's school and free time activities is modest.
