I present here the normative argument that the role of the democratic-liberal state is to ensure solidarity between the public educational system and the parents of students, during routine times and during emergency times. I shed light on the weakness of the values of solidarity and equality, which have characterized the relations of the Israeli educational system and the parent population, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. Based on Michel Foucault's ideas, this article uses the productive-constructive possibilities of power that Foucault termed "pastoral power" for the creation of solidarity between the educational system and parents, especially during emergency period.
