Education should be acceptable by students and parents. However, this point of view is neglected in the practical side of education. Previously I examined the coping process of parents experiencing classroom collapse by the interview and questionnaire method. As a result, five factors, such as reliance on teachers, sense of crisis, learned helplessness (powerlessness), parent involvement (volunteer activities), and parent participation (decision-making) were found. The most important word was learned helplessness (powerlessness) of parents, for the parents who had experienced classroom collapse felt it in relation to the bureaucratic school system. Effective mediation is necessary between parents and school in case of trouble such as classroom collapse. This study attempts to construct a hypothetic model by literature review, that is, the model of mediation between parents and school through school social work. For this purpose, the relation between learned helplessness (powerlessness) of parents and the bureaucratic school system was considered. And then the relationship between parent efficacy and parent involvement was analyzed. Finally the model of mediation was presented.
