An Associated Press article dated January 24, 2005 discusses the fact that students whose parents are involved in their education tend to perform better at school. The article spotlights a mother in Phoenix, Arizona who regularly goes over homework assignments with her 8-year-old son, and also has an open line of communication with her son's teacher. Parents who discuss homework assignments with their children not only keep tabs on what is being taught at school, but they also help their children to practice and internalize what has been learned. Students with involved parents tend to enjoy school more and are less likely to misbehave during class.
The article is available at the Web site of the Tucson Citizen (Tucson, Arizona).
