Research tells schools to empower parents DesMoinesRegister.com The Des Moines Register:

"The goal is to get more parents into the school and to show them ways to help their children at home.

Research has shown that students whose families play an active role in their education most often are more prepared to enter school, get better grades and perform higher on state standardized tests. A lack of parental involvement has been shown to lead to misbehavior, poor grades and higher dropout rates."
