how to join tables with generalization - mysql

Question

I'm having trouble performing a JOIN on tables the problem is this:
In a report cart system I have users, such as students, parents and school employees. I need to generate an SQL statement that when I enter the access ID of the parents it lists all students related to parents ID
Follow the Model:
Is this the best way to implement this "Generalization" and this relationship between parents and students, since they are all users? Can someone help me?
SQL code:

In order to solve this problem, we would need to look at testeboletim.student, testeboletim.parents, and either testeboletim.student_has_parents or testeboletim.user. I have decided to solve your problem using testeboletim.user, because it was clearer in terms of refrence keys, and what not.
Solution using testeboletim.user
Based on your question, we are looking for all rows in testeboletim.student, that have a corresponding iduser testeboletim.user based on the user_iduser of testeboletim.parents.
-- SQL Definition:
SELECT * FROM `testeboletim`.`student` WHERE `user_iduser` IN
(SELECT DISTINCT(`iduser`) FROM `testeboletim`.`user` WHERE `iduser` IN
(SELECT DISTINCT(`user_iduser`) FROM `testeboletim`.`parents`)
);
Now to do the same thing with JOIN, would require the use of LEFT JOIN; in this case testeboletim.student.
SELECT * FROM `testeboletim`.`student` AS `student`
LEFT JOIN `testeboletim`.`user` AS `user`
ON `student`.`user_iduser` = `user`.`iduser`
LEFT JOIN `testeboletim`.`parents` AS `parents`
ON `user`.`iduser` = `parents`.`user_iduser`;
Since I don't have any values, I'm going to share with you the explanation, in order to "prove" that the query works.
mysql> SELECT * FROM `testeboletim`.`student` AS `student`
-> LEFT JOIN `testeboletim`.`user` AS `user`
-> ON `student`.`user_iduser` = `user`.`iduser`
-> LEFT JOIN `testeboletim`.`parents` AS `parents`
-> ON `user`.`iduser` = `parents`.`user_iduser`;

-> ON `user`.`iduser` = `parents`.`user_iduser`;
