and mental health, communication between home and school (quality and prevention focused) declined across the middle and high school levels” (p. 2163). Parental Involvement Obstacles
Pemberton and Miller (2015) conducted two phases to assess the effect of parental involvement in a Title I school with a history to low reading achievement. In this study, a principal, parent liaison, two first-grade teachers, and four low-income families participated. In particular, it was expressed in Phase I through interviews with the administrators and teachers that the lack of parental involvement conveyed that parents do not value their children's education; therefore low-income children continue to perform poorly in academic. Next, in Phase II, teachers’

    Annette Lareau Home Advantages

    Home Advantage is an insightful and compelling book as Annette Lareau considers the means in which parents are able or sometimes unable to shape their children’s educational experiences. Lareau draws on the theory of social capital first discussed by Pierre Bourdieu, to develop the argument that social class (independent of ability) does affect schooling. This is a comprehensible and enjoyable text as she challenges the current view that family socio-economic status is no longer important in determining successful academic achievements. Throughout the book she tries to answer; how and why social class influences parent involvement. Lareau uses a qualitative case study method to compare family-school relationships in a working class elementary…

    Summary Of Inequality In The Promised Land

    Parental engagement is often viewed as desirable and is associated with positive school experiences and schooling outcomes. However, according to Lewis-McCoy, parental engagement is multidimensional, and beyond the positive image that is promoted there are negative dimensions as well, which affect the access if all families to a high-quality education. Some types of parental engagement made the educational terrain between white and black and between rich and poor even more uneven (66). Many parents learned about a school’s practices and opportunities via networks of parents. Lewis-McCoy observed three types of networks: formal, semi-formal and informal.…

    Six Partnership Comprehensive Model

    After reading this text, I realized that sometimes the information being sent home to parents are not easier to comprehend and that language barrier and other aspects can affect the outcome of a parent being involved in their children’s education. Also understanding that the traditional family aspect have changed and that you have grandparents raising their children’s kids, single-parent households, brothers and sisters raising their siblings and etc; I myself am a product of a single parent household with four other siblings so it was not an easy task for my mother to always be involved in the activities because she would often be at work. It is important to understand the concept of parental involvement and because you have people from low-income families working hard to provide they tend to be busier and might not make it up to the school than other parents. It does not…

    Divorce In School

    Have you ever stopped to imagine how the different effects of student’s home lives effect their performance in school? Some of us were fortunate enough to never have to worry about the strenuous effects our home life had on our school life. The American family and culture has changed so drastically over the past twenty to thirty years, many teachers today cannot even relate to the everyday problems that the children of today are facing. This being the case, it is difficult for some teachers to help our struggling youth with the many different problems they bring to the classroom from home. Sadker, Sadker, and Zittleman (2008) suggest that the changing dynamics of families in the 21st century play an important factor in children struggling…

    Diversity In African-American Middle Schools

    Low-income children generally live in neighborhoods where safety, substance abuse and crime are relevant issues. According the Children’s Defense Fund (2000), children of poverty are more likely to live in dangerous areas, have recurring health problems, receive less than desirable education, lack after-school care, and be subjected to violence. Inner city and rural environments have the highest incidence of low-income families. Children in these areas have less access to enriching environments with books and are generally less exposed to reading and explanatory language and meaningful interactions with adults (Duke, 2000). As a result, they often enter school already behind their peers.…

    “The most effective ways to increase student achievement is for parents to be actively involved in the education of their children. When parents are involved, students tend to achieve more, regardless of socio-economic status, ethnic/racial background or parents’ educational level (National Center for School Engagement, n. d.)”. It is important that parents and teachers form a healthy relationship they need to be able to communicate in order to help the students. Both parents and teachers want the students to be successful with their education. The research article I chose “Family Involvement Makes a Difference in School Success”.…

    Cultural Capital In Lareau's Home Advantage

    Perhaps the most interesting factor in determining the success of a child in their education is the cultural experiences they are able to obtain. The cultural experiences a child is able to obtain is called their cultural capital. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital is “cultural practices or dispositions a person acquires often through disguised or hidden ways that realize profits in the economic field primarily through ensuring academic success” (Madigan 121). Cultural capital can manifest itself in various ways including a child’s familiarity with classical artists or music. Children that have higher cultural capitals are more likely to display more knowledge or have better taste.…

The reason we include the parents to share from their own visons, of how it is portrayed and shared with in their own family. We did have a career day that allowed the students to ask anyone from their families to come and share what they do for a career. Like Hobson’s mom taught her, “Mellody, you can be anything.

    Fathers Role In Child Education

    Much too often, the role of a father in the life of his child is downplayed and underemphasized by society. In times past, mothers have been regarded by most of society as the primary parent in nearly every facet, whether it pertains to the child’s academic performance to medical care to emotional wellbeing. The widely held sentiment has been that the mother’s role is more important than that of the father’s when it pertains to child rearing. Although this belief may be true for a fraction of families, the fact still remains that it takes both a man and a woman to create a child. This truth alone begs the question: What effect does the father have on child development?…
