Volunteering with the LPSG
 

“Researchers have been studying the effects parent attitudes and actions have on their children’s academic success for more than 30 years. The results have been consistent. Anne Henderson and Nancy Berla summed it up in their book A New Generation of Evidence: The Family Is Critical to Student Achievement, which reviewed the existing research: ‘When parents are involved in their children’s education at home, they do better in school. And

when parents are involved in school, children go farther in school and the schools they go to are better.’” -School Family.com
