Parentalinvolvem ent
When schools, families, and community groups work together to support
learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like
school more. Thats the conclusion of A New Wave of Evidence, a report
from Southwest Educational Development Laboratory (2002).
The report, a synthesis of research on parent involvement over the past
decade, also found that, regardless of family income or background,
students with involved parents are more likely to:
Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs
Be promoted, pass their classes, and earn credits
Attend school regularly
Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school
Graduate and go on to postsecondary education
Neglect of Duty
Arises when an
educator fails
to carry out
assigned
duties.
