Parental Involvement


How can parents affect students' achievement? How parents' jobs and their educational level affect their children? Let us examine how these factors influence students for better achievement toward success. Children are influenced by two main factors in their lives, their parents and their teachers. Parents are the primary factor who influence students learning before they enter their schools and they influence children's learning throughout school and beyond. Parents' education is one of the most important factors that influences children achievement since, parental involvement helps in motivating students and helps in improving their educational performance. Parents who are illiterate or have reached low educational levels find it hard to be involved in educating their children and those parents will face difficulties as their children grow up and what guide their children will be reduced. Parents who motivate their students to learn allow their children to behave better in school and achieve success. Parents who have professional career carry different perspectives toward life other than parents who work with non professional jobs, the income will be different and thus economic status will be different too. This difference will affect the ability of parents to provide their children with the basic needs.

  1. Parents' jobs and their educational level affect their children both positively or negatively. If the parents are educated and have good or professional jobs, this will help them in motivating their children, guiding them in the learning process, and also encouraging them to behave better in the school and achieve success. SO, parents should try to provide the best for their children because they are the builders of the future.

  2. I think that parents should be involved in their chid's education,certainly. This is because if children feel that their proper family are not even caring of what they do, or if they need help in homework, will affect their chidren psychologically negative. That's why parents should always guide them to the right way.

  3. I just love it when parents always ask and inquire about their kids. They hold their hands and follow up with their achievements whenever they encounter a problem. What I am noticing in current parents' meeting is the concern of students' fathers. Mothers' roles are more subjected into decline while some fathers would visit school each Saturday sometimes. Whether their mothers or fathers are asking, it is very important to be always involved in the teaching processes of their kids

  4. Studies have indicated that children whose parents and/or other significant adults share in their formal education tend to do better in school. All parents want their children to become successful, caring adults. Similarly, many parents want to be involved with the formal education of their children. Sometimes, however, they don't know where to start, when to find the time, or how to go about making positive connections with the school.
    At the most basic level, parents can begin encouraging the education of their children by showing that they truly value education themselves
