Abstract
Smart phone has become more and more common in our life. This paper aims at bringing parents and teachers friendly, instantly and directly to communicate with each other anywhere, anytime. It studies how smart phone application can support real-time communication between parents and teachers. We propose that parents can obtain updated and reliable information such as circular and homework. It helps them to support their children at home easily. Moreover, the PTA (Parent and Teacher Association) system helps school administrator to manage circular. It can publish circular directly and summarize parents’ reply easily. Very often, parents are not aware of the performance of their sons and daughters at school until it is too late, and they complain about the teachers’ teaching method. The PTA system shows that parents and teachers can work together to monitor students’ progresses in school work based on their assessment results.
