Abstract

Parental Involvement in Education

The purpose of this research project is to identify the discrepancy of parental involvement in the success of children's education. Those who have more parental involvement in their education thrive in all aspects compared to those who do not. Students' completion of homework with parental signatures were recorded. Parents' attendance in person or by phone for parent teacher conferences were recorded. My analysis has shown a strong correlation between high academic performance and high parental involvement along with a strong correlation between low parental involvement and low academic performance. I concluded that higher parental involvement in education increases children's academic success.
