When parents are
involved in children’s
schools and education,
children have higher
grades and standardized
test scores, improved
behavior at home and
school, and better
social skills and
adaptation to school.
When parents hear
that they need to be
more involved in their
child’s school, the
first reaction is
sometimes a sense of
guilt that they aren’t
more active in the local
Parent-Teacher
Organization. If that
motivates you to invest
your time and energy
into your local parent
group, then you will
certainly reap the
benefits of that level
of involvement in your
child’s education.
