Parental Involvement Is Equal To Spending $1,000 More Per Student?
September 3rd, 2009 by Larry Ferlazzo
Last year researchers from the University of Hampshire concluded that:
“Parental effort is consistently associated with higher levels of achievement, and the magnitude of the effect of parental effort is substantial. We found that schools would need to increase per-pupil spending by more than $1,000 in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.”
