Parents play critical role in education:
"Even those who assess student performance as part of the No Child Left Behind Act stray from placing too much blame. In their reports on outcomes, at one end of the spectrum they speak of high-performing students and at the other, they talk about low-performing schools.
Certainly there are a number of parents who are deeply immersed in raising their children and most likely there are stories of classroom success and behavior to match. Among the factors related to student success, those involving parents are the most profound.
Says Oregon's Chalkboard Project, 'The research is clear: when families are engaged in their children's education, those children do better in school.'"
