Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A suprasystem refers to larger systems that have an impact on the functioning of a smaller system, in this case, the school. The community surrounding the school would be considered a suprasystem because it can influence the resources, supports, and challenges that the school and its students face. The school's football team, the PTA, and all second-grade students are all subsystems within the school and are not considered suprasystems.
